<unk>  100-mg capsules manufactured by Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Acne<unk>  and doxycycline are frequently used for the treatment of acne vulgaris. Both of these closely related antibiotics have similar levels of efficacy, although doxycycline has a slightly lower risk of adverse side effects. Historically,<unk>  has been an effective treatment for acne vulgaris. However, acne that is caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a growing problem in many countries. In Europe and North America, a number of people with acne no longer respond well to treatment with tetracycline family antibiotics because their acne symptoms are caused by bacteria (primarily Cutibacterium acnes) that are resistant to these antibiotics. In order to reduce resistance rates as well as increase the effectiveness of treatment, oral antibiotics should be generally combined with topical acne creams such as benzoyl peroxide or a retinoid (tretinoin, adapalene, etc.).<unk>  itself is used both orally and topically in the treatment of acne. Infections<unk>  is also used for other skin infections such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Although<unk> 's broader spectrum of activity, compared with other members of the group, includes activity against Neisseria meningitidis, its use for prophylaxis is no longer recommended because of side effects (dizziness and vertigo). It may be used to treat certain strains of methicillin-resistant S. aureus infection and a disease caused by drug-resistant Acinetobacter spp. A list of uses includes: * Amoebic dysentery * Anthrax * Bubonic plague * Cholera * Ehrlichiosis * Gonorrhea (when penicillin cannot be given) * Gougerot-Carteaud syndrome (confluent and reticulated papillomatosis) * Hidradenitis suppurativa * For use as an adjuvant to HAART * Leprosy * Periodontal disease * Perioral dermatitis * Respiratory infections such as pneumonia * Rocky Mountain spotted fever * Rosacea * Syphilis (when penicillin cannot be given) * Urinary tract infections, rectal infections, and infections of the cervix caused by certain<unk> robes Other Both<unk>  and doxycycline have shown effectiveness in asthma due to immune-suppressing effects.<unk>  and doxycycline have modest effectiveness in treating rheumatoid arthritis. However, the 2015 American College of Rheumatology guideline for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis does not include<unk> . Recent research indicate that centrally infused<unk>  attenuates brain<unk> roglial activation, neuroinflammation and sympathetic activation during pulmonary hypertension
