SOLODYN® Tablets
A prescription antibiotic proven effective for red, pus-filled pimples2
The effective treatment of your acne depends on the type and severity of your condition. See About Acne.

SOLODYN® is the first and only oral antibiotic approved to specifically treat the red, pus-filled pimples of moderate-to-severe acne in patients 12 years of age and older.2

For more information, see About SOLODYN and SOLODYN Safety Information. Ask your dermatologist if SOLODYN is right for you.

Why SOLODYN® Tablets?
Unlike other minocycline products, only SOLODYN® releases its active ingredient (minocycline) slowly into the bloodstream. No other minocyclines work the same way in the body as SOLODYN. Other benefits of SOLODYN include:

Taken once a day.
Can be taken with or without food.
Safe and effective low-dose therapy (1mg/kg/day).
Ideal dosing is based on your weight.
