Arms	Assigned Interventions
Doxycycline hyclate (Doryx): Experimental	Drug: Doxycycline hyclate (Doryx) 150mg/day, oral, delayed release tablets
Doxycycline hyclate: Active Comparator	Drug: Doxycycline hyclate 100 mg/day, oral, tablets, immediate release

Detailed Description:

Efficacy of Doryx Delayed Release Tablets to doxycycline hyclate will be assessed using an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score and the absolute change from baseline to 12 weeks in inflammatory lesion count in patients with moderate to severe facial acne vulgaris. Additionally, the absolute change from baseline to 12 weeks in non-inflammatory lesions count of Doryx Delayed Release Tablets compared to doxycycline hyclate will be evaluated.
