Bacteria (magnified view)

Oracea is a prescription-only sub-microbial anti-inflammatory (see Antibiotics / Anti-Inflammatories) that may be helpful in controlling inflammation. It is a new, extended release, sub-microbial dosage of Doxycycline, a member of the tetracycline family. Since Oracea shows no anti-bacterial qualities, it may be safer for long-term use than other antibiotics
