Efracea 40mg MR Capsules

Efracea is an effective medication used to treat rosacea, a long-term skin condition. Adults with rosacea are prescribed Efracea 40 mg MR (modified release) capsules to treat symptoms such as blushing, red bumps and pimples.

The medicine contains the active ingredient doxycycline, a tetracycline antibiotic that treats bacterial infections. Doxycycline can also be prescribed as tablets, a syrup or a liquid, and is used to treat other conditions such as acne, bacterial pneumonia and chlamydia.

Efracea 40 mg MR capsules are used to treat rosacea. Rosacea causes symptoms such as:

• Flushing or blushing in your face, with blood vessels becoming visible
• Swollen bumps or pimples
• A burning sensation
• Eye problems
• An enlarged nose (due to the skin thickening)

Rosacea can affect anybody but is understood to be most common in caucasian middle-aged women. While there is no cure for rosacea, safe treatments such as Efracea can be effective in reducing or eliminating symptoms.

Efracea is prescribed to adults and children over the age of 12. Rosacea is very uncommon in young children. However, doxycycline (Efracea’s active ingredient) may sometimes be prescribed to children under the age of 12 to treat other infections.

For some people, Efracea may not be suitable. Before you take Efracea, be sure to tell your doctor if you have:

• Liver problems
• Kidney problems
• Had an allergic reaction to doxycycline
• Had an allergic reaction to any other medicine
• Lupus (an autoimmune disease)
• Oesophagitis (inflamed food pipe)
• Myasthenia gravis (a chronic autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness)
• Or if you are pregnant or are breast-feeding

There are also various other medicines and supplements that may not mix well with Efracea. Before taking Efracea, tell your doctor if you are currently taking:

• Indigestion medicine
• Other antibiotics
• Stomach ulcer medicines
• Acne medicines
• Warfarin
• Ciclosporin
• Medicines for epilepsy
• Supplements containing aluminium, calcium, bismuth, magnesium, zinc or iron

The active ingredient of Efracea, doxycycline, is a tetracycline antibiotic that works by preventing bacteria from spreading and clearing up pimples and bumps. It has an anti-inflammatory effect which reduces unpleasant symptoms such as soreness, burning skin and flushing.

Research has shown that taking Efracea 40 mg MR capsules once per day is effective in treating adults with moderate to severe rosacea. The medicine was highlighted for its “favourable safety profile” and absence of antibiotic selection pressure, meaning it doesn’t lead to antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

It is best not to drink alcohol when you are taking Efracea, as it might make the medicine less effective. While small amounts of alcohol are unlikely to reduce Efracea’s effectiveness, drinking larger amounts can make the doxycycline in Efracea less effective at treating bacterial infections such as rosacea.

If you are concerned about alcohol use while you are taking Efracea, or have any questions, speak to your doctor.

Users online have described how Efracea 40mg MR capsules were effective in treating symptoms of rosacea flare-ups, including red face, burning and pimples. Reviewers have reported that taking Efracea for rosacea resulted in improved, healthier-looking skin. In some cases, users have commented that after taking Efracea, their rosacea symptoms went away and had not yet returned.

The time Efracea takes to work varied between reviewers. Some users found that although Efracea relieved painful rosacea symptoms such as burning within a week, it took a few weeks before their skin returned to normal. Other users reported that Efracea was effective in clearing their rosacea in a matter of days. Among the most commonly cited side effects are upset stomach and burping.
