  • Apprilon™ (Oracea in the US) is now available in Canada

    My GP told me today that Apprilon (Doxycycline Modified-Release Capsule, 40 mg) is now available in Canada. I don't know how much it costs, but I know that Oracea is more expensive than "regular ol'" doxycycline (100mg) or minocycline (50mg) in the US.

    I am thinking about asking my doctor about this. Is this SUPOSE to be more effective than regular doxy or just somewhat safer?

      I believe the point is that Apprilon/Oracea is just as effective as "regular doxy" without the increased risk of developing antibiotic resistance.

      I'm curious about cost. If you find out anything, please post.

        I live in Canada too. I am going to ask my doctor about it if I can get an appointment next week! Thanks for the info. I'll let u know how much it costs if he lets me try it. Right now I use 100mg of doxy every second day.

          Can't say I notice any help with Oracea for dry eye. It was originally prescribed to me for my acne.

          I do notice improvement from 50mg of plain doxy a day though.
