All my experience with the same antibiotic cleared it up in roughly one
month.
I was advised by my doctor it might take as long as three months to see
substantial results if my acne was worse.
At any rate, I received a three month supply.
Still, talk to your doctor, he/she may want to prescribe you something else.
I used minocycline in conjunction with Retin-A.
Good luck.

My Doctor also said three months but what worries me is that there has
been no change whatsoever.

In my case, antibiotics never provided gradual improvement. For those
antibiotic courses that worked, my skin carries on as normal until some
critical point is hit. Then, all of a sudden, new pimples stop
appearing. That's what I see. Others may have different experiences.
