Periostat And Doxycycline
Posted: 05-13-05 12:54pm

I used to take 100mg of doxycycline a day for acne, ($40 bottle of 30) and now I am supposed to lower the dosage so my doctor prescribed me 20mg of periostat, which is a derative of doxycycline. ($80 bottle of 30)

i don't understand why the bigger dosage is less money, and why I had this switch. I could have just broken the pills in half...Any ideas?
