Oracea (active ingredient: doxycycline monohydrate) is a prescription medication used to treat the inflammatory bumps and pimples associated with rosacea in adults.
It is specially formulated at a low dose to help reduce inflammation rather than to treat a bacterial infection.
Oracea is used to treat the papules and pustules that can develop with rosacea.
Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that commonly affects the face. It may cause:
Oracea is mainly used when rosacea causes inflammatory lesions, such as raised red bumps or pus-filled spots.
Oracea belongs to a group of medications called tetracyclines.
At the dose used for rosacea, doxycycline mainly works by reducing inflammation in the skin. It can decrease the activity of certain enzymes and inflammatory substances that contribute to redness, swelling, and skin irritation.
By reducing inflammation, Oracea may help:
Oracea is not mainly used for its antibacterial effect when treating rosacea.
Oracea is intended to treat the inflammatory bumps and pimples of rosacea.
It may not fully treat other rosacea symptoms, such as persistent facial redness, visible blood vessels, or flushing. Your healthcare provider may recommend other treatments if these symptoms are also a concern.
Oracea usually needs to be taken regularly for several weeks before the full benefit becomes noticeable.
Continue taking it exactly as prescribed, even if your skin does not improve right away. Your healthcare provider will decide how long treatment should continue based on your response.
Oracea is available as a modified-release capsule taken by mouth.
It is usually taken once daily, although you should always follow the exact dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
Take the capsule with a full glass of water.
Swallow Oracea capsules whole.
Do not:
Because Oracea is a modified-release medication, damaging the capsule may affect how the medication is released into your body.
Take Oracea exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
Do not take more or less than recommended, and do not take it more often than directed. Using extra medication will not make rosacea improve faster and may increase the risk of side effects.
Follow the instructions provided for your specific Oracea product.
Oracea is generally taken on an empty stomach, preferably at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Taking it with certain foods may affect how the medication is absorbed.
If the medication causes stomach discomfort, talk to your healthcare provider or pharmacist before changing how you take it.
Try to take Oracea at approximately the same time each day.
Taking it regularly helps maintain a consistent amount of medication in your body and makes it easier to remember your daily dose.
If you miss a dose of Oracea, take it as soon as you remember.
If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
Do not take two doses at the same time or take extra medication to make up for a missed dose.
Continue taking Oracea for the full length of time recommended by your healthcare provider, even if your rosacea begins to improve.
Do not stop the medication on your own unless your healthcare provider tells you to do so.
Doxycycline is available in several different formulations and strengths, and they are not always interchangeable.
Make sure you receive the exact doxycycline product prescribed by your healthcare provider. If the medication looks different from what you normally receive, ask your pharmacist to confirm that it is the correct product.
Take Oracea with plenty of water and avoid lying down immediately after taking it. This can help reduce irritation of the throat and esophagus.
If you have questions about when to take Oracea, what foods to avoid, or how to manage stomach upset, speak with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Oracea (Doxycycline Monohydrate) is available in the following forms and strengths:
Do not take Oracea if you are allergic to doxycycline, other tetracycline antibiotics, or any ingredient in the medication.
Seek medical attention right away if you develop signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, hives, or a severe rash.
Oracea is generally avoided during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy because doxycycline can affect the developing baby’s teeth and bone growth.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, talk to your healthcare provider before taking Oracea.
Breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with Oracea and for 5 days after the last dose, according to current prescribing information.
Talk to your healthcare provider about feeding options if you are breastfeeding.
Oracea can interact with certain medications and supplements.
Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and supplements you take. Products containing calcium, magnesium, aluminum, iron, or bismuth may reduce doxycycline absorption and may need to be taken at a different time.
Doxycycline can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight and may increase your risk of sunburn.
Limit prolonged sun exposure and avoid tanning beds. Wear protective clothing and use appropriate sun protection when outdoors.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop a severe sunburn or unusual skin reaction.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have liver or kidney disease before starting Oracea.
Your healthcare provider can determine whether additional monitoring or other precautions are needed.
Tetracycline medications, including doxycycline, have rarely been associated with autoimmune reactions, including lupus-like reactions, autoimmune hepatitis, and vasculitis.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop unexplained joint pain, fever, rash, or unusual tiredness while taking Oracea.
Doxycycline can cause permanent tooth discoloration and may temporarily affect bone growth when used during tooth development.
Oracea is therefore not intended for routine use in young children. Your healthcare provider should decide whether doxycycline is appropriate for a child.
Doxycycline can sometimes cause Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea, which may occur during treatment or after the medication has been stopped.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop severe, persistent, watery, or bloody diarrhea.
Rarely, doxycycline may cause increased pressure around the brain, sometimes called intracranial hypertension or pseudotumor cerebri.
Seek medical attention if you develop a persistent severe headache, blurred vision, double vision, or other sudden vision changes.
Take Oracea exactly as prescribed. It is generally taken once daily in the morning on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.
Do not increase your dose on your own. Taking more than the prescribed amount does not improve rosacea faster and may increase side effects.
Oracea is generally taken on an empty stomach. Take it at least 1 hour before a meal or 2 hours after a meal. This helps your body absorb the medication properly. If Oracea upsets your stomach, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist what to do before changing how you take it.
It is best to limit or avoid alcohol while taking Oracea. Alcohol may increase side effects such as stomach upset or dizziness and may also affect how well doxycycline works in some people.
Yes. Oracea can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, which may increase your risk of sunburn. Try to limit prolonged sun exposure and use sunscreen, protective clothing, and a hat when outdoors. Avoid tanning beds while taking Oracea.
The length of treatment depends on how severe your rosacea is and how well you respond to the medication. Take Oracea for as long as your healthcare provider recommends. Do not stop treatment early, even if your skin begins to improve, unless your provider tells you to do so.
No. Oracea capsules should be swallowed whole. Do not crush, chew, split, or open the capsule because this can affect how the modified-release medication is delivered into your body. If you have trouble swallowing the capsule, talk to your healthcare provider or pharmacist about possible alternatives.
