Solodyn (Minocycline) antibiotic, does it work for acne?

After a long battle with adult acne and many lotions and potions, 2 dermatologists, etc – I finally gave up and gave in to the antibiotics that I initially was very much against.

I started Solodyn (Minocycline) today.

How long does it take for me to see some improvement? Do people usually take this for 12 weeks and when they stop, does the acne return?

Is it okay to drink a glass of wine with dinner while on this antibiotic?

Can anyone who took it for acne provide me with some feedback to say if it worked for them, and if they felt any side effects?

Thanks for your help!

Response:
Good for you! Sometimes you need to stay on the antibiotics a while longer than 3 months, usually at a lower dose. I took doxycyclyne and it saved my skin and my sanity. But my cousin, she used solodyn for her acne for 2.5 months, and it did work for her.

Don’t worry about MRSA. You’re on antibiotics to fight bacterial infections and that’s NOT misuse of antibiotics.
