I'm having some trouble with acne and my doctor said to take doxy 100mg capsules. But when I went to the pharmacy, they gave me something called doxybond LB. They mentioned there are different types like doxylab and doxybond LB. I looked up doxybond LB online and saw it might have a bunch of side effects. Now I'm worriedwill this actually help with my acne, or could it cause more issues? What should I do?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I'm trying to figure out how to use the lotions my doctor recommended for white patches on my lips. They told me to use Melbild and Tacrovera, but I'm not sure which one should go on first or if it matters at all. Can I just apply them in any order? I'm really hoping to get this right.

The Melbild lotion should be applied first on the white patches on your lips. Apply a thin layer of Melbild lotion on the affected areas once daily, preferably at night. After the Melbild lotion has dried, you can then apply the Tacrovera lotion. Use the Tacrovera lotion as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily, in the morning and at night. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions carefully for the best results.
