Caroline, WI, USA Jul 12th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: None Cons: Experienced severe allergic reactions and was hospitalized. My spleen and liver became abnormally large, my body temperature fluctated (head was hot, feet was cold) resulting in seizure-like body-shaking, and I broke into a rash (possibly hives). Bottom Line: I almost died 2x; now that I think of it, I wished I sued my doctor. Please be extremely cautious, and remember that you know you're own body better than your doctor.

keekee, MN Jul 10th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: clear up acne a little Cons: got hives!! Bottom Line: this worked well at first I think (although the clear up may simply have been a good time of the month hormone wise) but after 10 days of no side effects, I broke out into hives that took 4 days to go away.

Pros: Cleared up my acne perfectly very quickly! Cons: I stopped taking it, and five months later I was very stressed and my acne came back, so I've been using it again for a couple days Bottom Line: I experienced no side affects, and I am on it again, so I have been very pleased with the results.

dlt80, TN, USA Jun 19th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: For those who can tolerate it, Bactrim seems to clear people up well. Cons: Looks like a lot of us can't tolerate it! Bottom Line: Side effects included nausea and fatigue ... tenth day I broke out in a rash and had to quit. If this works for you, great - but watch carefully for side-effects.

Londoncalling, London, UK Jun 16th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Clears acne fast Simple to take Cons: None so far Bottom Line: I've been taking Trimethoprim for about 9 weeks now and my skin has nearly totally cleared. I've had no side effects, so I just hope it keeps working. I just wish I had found this sooner. Recommended: Yes Usage: Londoncalling has used this item for a few months. Was this comment helpful?

John, Houston May 22nd, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It cleared up the acne in just a few weeks. I took it for a year, two pills a day for first 6 mos, and then 1 pill a day. Had NO acne while taking. Had no side effects. Very mild skin dryness -- nothing compared to Accutane. Cons: My acne did come back several months after I stopped. My doc told me 5% of patients are allergic. It's a popular antibiotic used with staph infections -- not good if your body's built up a tolerance (after a year or so). Bottom Line: It's the best I've taken, among a long list of acne medications. I never experienced crazy hangovers. just don't take it that night if you're drinking. It's cheap with insurance.

Claudia, USA Apr 29th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cleared up my cystic acne in a week. Amazing drug! I've tried everything, including 2 rounds of Accutane and other antibiotics. Nothing cleared up my skin like Bactrim. I wish it were safer - I'd use it forever! Cons: I worry about using it longterm and the effects it may be having on my body. Bottom Line: I sincerely wish there were a drug like Bactrim that was safe to use longterm. Don't doctors realize that for many of us severe acne is a life long problem???

ViC, Los Angeles, CA Apr 11th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cleared up the acne on my back somewhat. Cons: I found out I was allergic to it once a rash broke up on my body. Went to the emergency room and got a steroid treatment. Benadryl did not work to get rid of the rash, needed something stronger Bottom Line: It is strong stuff. You need to weight the pros and cons before starting it. Sure it will clear your acne, but skin diseases and an unhealthy liver and kidney, pass.. Recommended: No Usage: ViC has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 10.00 Was this comment helpful?
