| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
| Recommended | Yes |

| 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??? |

| 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 |

| Pros | clears up nicely and is cheap |
|---|---|
| Cons | can't drink alcohol(dont do it....it'll give you a bad headache and make u nauseous) may cause nausea |
| Bottom line | i started seeing improvement within the first month...i've had reallly bad cystic acne for about 8 years now.I've tried everything, prescription and over the counter. Nothing worked. Then my dermatologist prescribed me bactrim ds. I am on month 2 now....i don't break out as much as I used to...1 or 2 tiny little pimples here and there...my scars are also healing=] i also use retin A it's worth a shot if u r not allergic to sulfa drugs. I am really hoping my acne does not come back once i stop taking this medication |

| Pros | This stuff works! |
|---|---|
| Cons | I've had several derms refuse to prescribe it saying it was a severe drug, and that they NEVER prescribe it. Some said they've never heard of it being used for acne. HELLO, get with the program docs! |
| Bottom line | After having frustrating and painful acne for years, and trying many topicals and orals, thank God I found two doctors with the common sense to recognize this is what I needed to clear my skin up. I received many compliments after my skin cleared up, "Are you doing something different, your skin looks great?" I do recognize that there are possible side effects, but I don't think I've experienced any. |

| Pros | very effective, took it once a day 400mg bactrim roche . really works wonders, totally cleared my face from acne. battling acne for over 20 years. even tried accutane. i'm 37 y.o. started getting acne at age 15. |
|---|---|
| Cons | no side effects whatsoever.. 400mg is tolerable |
| Bottom line | for me, it is like a discovery. i've been with accutance, all topical anti acne, doxy, minoxy etc... this is the only drug that works for me and cleared my face for one whole month. don't know what will happen next if my body will get used to it. |
