Diabetes drug tested against common antibiotic for clearer skin
NCT ID NCT07357337
Summary
This study compared two oral medications—metformin and doxycycline—for treating moderate to severe acne. Researchers enrolled 68 participants aged 12-40 and followed them for 12 weeks to see which medication better reduced acne lesions and improved skin appearance. The goal was to determine if metformin, a medication typically used for diabetes, could be an effective alternative to the commonly prescribed antibiotic doxycycline.
