Doxycycline, minocycline and tetracycline

This family treats chest and skin infections and is widely used for acne. Doxycycline, sold here as Doxycin and Doxypen, is also prescribed to prevent malaria when travelling. Minocycline (Minoz, Minolox) is mostly used for acne, and tetracycline (Resteclin) is the original drug of the group.

Swallow the dose with a full glass of water and stay upright afterwards. These medicines make skin more sensitive to sunlight, and they are not given in pregnancy or to young children.
