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*

ORACEA does not lessen the facial redness caused by rosacea. Adverse Events: In controlled clinical studies, the most commonly reported adverse events (>2%) in subjects treated with ORACEA were nasopharyngitis, diarrhea, hypertension and sinusitis. Warnings/Precautions: ORACEA should not be used to treat or prevent infections. ORACEA should not be taken by patients who have a known hypersensitivity to doxycycline or other tetracyclines. ORACEA should not be taken during pregnancy, by nursing mothers, or during tooth development (up to the age of 8 years) and may cause reversible inhibition of bone growth. If Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) occurs, may need to discontinue ORACEA. Although photosensitivity was not observed in clinical trials, ORACEA patients should minimize or avoid exposure to natural or artificial sunlight. The efficacy of ORACEA treatment beyond 16 weeks and safety beyond 9 months have not been established.
