What are the oral medications for acne

Oral medications for acne can be divided into two categories: Western medicine and Chinese medicine. In terms of Western medicine, if more pustules appear, mostly caused by Propionibacterium acnes infection, oral anti-inflammatory medications such as minocycline capsules or doxycycline capsules are needed, and you can also choose roxithromycin capsules or azithromycin dry mix suspension. In case of more acne, retinoids such as isotretinoin softgels or vitamin capsules can be taken orally. In Chinese herbal medicine, you can apply Baixian Xia Taje capsule or Er Ding capsule for clearing fire and detoxification, and you can also choose moistening and anti-itching capsule for nourishing blood and draining wind effect. Topical medications can be applied to clindamycin phosphate gel for anti-inflammatory treatment and also to Longzhu ointment for detoxification and fire reduction.
