You will start to see results in a few days. It will takes weeks though to clear your face, depending on the severity of the acne.





Are you aware that minocycline is less effective if taken with food? It looses 1/3 of its effect if taken with milk or milk products. Try to take one hour before a meal or two hours after eating.How long does the Minocycline pills take to clear my acne?
You should start to see it clear within a couple weeks. If there are no results within 6 weeks, you may need to try a different medication. My dermatologist said that 6 weeks is the longest you should be on an oral medication to start to see results. I began to see results within a week of use, but I had to discontinue using it due to the side effects. Lots of headaches and nausea. Hope it works well for you!
