WHAT ARE ORACEA CAPSULES?

A convenient, once-daily treatment

The only FDA-approved oral treatment, specifically designed to treat the bumps and blemishes of rosacea for the long-term*

Rosacea is not caused by bacteria, yet many living with this chronic disease are still being prescribed high-dose antibiotics to help reduce inflammation

ORACEA® (doxycycline, USP) 40 mg Capsules are a non-antibiotic dose of doxycycline. Due to its unique formulation, you are less likely to experience nausea, vomiting or diarrhea when compared to taking an antibiotic dose (doxycycline 100 mg)

By continuing with ORACEA Capsules, even as you start to see improvements, you can safely manage your bumps and blemishes of rosacea for the long term*, without having to rely on intermittent use throughout your journey to clearer skin

You only need to take one daily capsule in the morning, 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal - make your treatment fit around your daily routine

How do
ORACEA Capsules work? 

ORACEA® (doxycycline, USP) 40 mg Capsules work through a modified release dosage; 30 mg is immediately released when it hits the stomach, with the remaining 10 mg released once the capsule reaches the small intestine, approximately two hours later. This non-antibiotic dose is powerful enough to rapidly reduce inflammatory bumps and blemishes of rosacea, making it safe for long-term use*

What can cause rosacea slider

Simple and effective

Help achieve clearer skin through a convenient capsule taken once a day. Those taking ORACEA Capsules in clinical trials saw significant improvements in the reduction of the bumps and blemishes of rosacea in as little as 3 weeks, and improvements continued through the full 16-week course of the study

FEWER SIDE EFFECTS

In a 16-week study comparing ORACEA Capsules with an antibiotic dose, subjects taking ORACEA Capsules had a lower incidence of unwanted gastrointestinal side effects than with doxycycline 100 mg. Those taking ORACEA Capsules experienced less nausea, vomiting or diarrhea
