Is Dizziness A Side Effect Of Solodyn Taken For Acne?
Hello - I was prescribed Solodyn 115 mg to help control acne. I am 38 years old, female, 4'11", 100 lbs. I am a marathon runner and almost never take medications. I took the full dose for 2 days but experienced severe dizziness. I cut the pill in half and just took it about 10 mins ago and I am extremely dizzy. Should I eat some bread or something??? what can I do to alleviate the dizziness??

Hi,
I have gone through your query.
Solodyn contains Minocycline, medicine used mainly in the treatment of Acne.
Dizziness is a side effect of it.
Allergy to this medicine also causes Dizziness.
First you eat something, if you feel better, then you can continue it else you should stop it and consult your treating doctor mentioning the problem.
Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
