Anonymous, chicago, il Apr 27th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: took this for an ear infection and my face completely cleared up...now i just use benzoyl peroxide and ziana to maintain my clear face. Cons: none Bottom Line: i think this could jump start acne treatment/get rid of the bacterial infection. just make sure you use creams to keep your face clear afterward.

Suzy, Ohio Apr 22nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: absolutely amazing. Cons: It's a antibiotic, i hope my body doesn't become immune... Bottom Line: After taking tetracycline and my skin got WORSE, I was feeling pretty crappy by then. So, I saw my dermo again, and he prescribed this stuff. I was so relieved to be off tetracycline, and at first i didn't see any results with Bactrim, but after a month i began seeing great improvements with my skin. And Now it's been two months, and my skin is completely free of pimples. Touch it, and it is smooth and wonderful. Now i just gotta get rid of the scars and It'll be perfect. =] Recommended: Yes Usage: Suzy has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 25.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

Kelly, Australia Apr 19th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Works Amazing! Cons: None Bottom Line: Bactrim DS 160mg/800mg Tablets 60 (6 x 10) (Authority Script) 46 cents per tablet This is the only thing that really works. I get deep cyst type pimples on my cheeks, but within a week of starting this, they disappeared. I have been on it for over a year now. I know it is still working because if I forget to take it for a few days, I will ALWAYS break out! The best thing is I can now be so carefree with my skin and I still wont get cysts. For example: I don't use any acne creams, I wash my face with soap, I can sleep in my makeup, and I can forget to wash my face. My life has changed :-) A dermatologist got me onto this. And now my normal GP dispenses this to me as my dermatologist was nice enough to send a letter to my GP saying please dispense this, so I don't have to pay to go to the Dermatologists and pay his fees every time I need my script refilled. This is perfectly safe to take for the rest of your life. I know I will probably have to take it for th Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 20.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

Anonymous, Houston, TX Apr 14th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Incredibly effective, cheap and so far no side effects. Cons: It's an antibiotic so can't use indefinitely. Bottom Line: Allergic to Tetracycline and Minocycline so this was gonna be one of my last stops before the A word. Been taking it for about a month and I haven't been this clear for this long in 13 years. If you've tried everything else this is def. worth a shot before accutane.

Becca, Vancouver Apr 9th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Worked very well on my skin Cons: I had a serum reaction and had to go to the hospital for a night. Awful symptoms including high fever, a lot of vomiting, and a rash. Bottom Line: It's probably a great drug if you know for sure that you can handle sulfa drugs. Otherwise the reaction can be pretty intense and scary.

James, Melbourne, Australia Apr 3rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Seems to be working, (on it now). Cons: I've been on it for almost a moth but I still get some deep pimples. I got a mild rash within the first 2 weeks but just discontinued the medication for a few days and now my body is used to it. Bottom Line: If you don't want to take the next step and do accutane this is for you, if this doesn't clear up my skin completley within a month I am swapping to that. Its affordable, and works but if you aren't satisfied get onto accutane, which has more side effects but I've had 3 friends who have previously been on it and they are fine and their skin is amazing now. I got this medication for cheaper for government compensation or something, so it only cost me $22. Recommended: Yes Usage: James has used this item for about a month.

Nenn, Salt Lake City, Utah Mar 30th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Seemed to work Cons: VERY ALLERGIC Bottom Line: I wish I had a chance to try this for a longer period of time. After only a week I got very sick, red all over, and had joint pain that is beyond description. It turned out I am allergic, but it seems to have helped many.

Anonymous, south africa Mar 27th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: wow. have struggled with moderate to severe acne for years. have tried "everything". bactrim is extremely effective (i take 2 double strength pills a day) very few side effects (unless you are allergic) my skin is completely clear (after 1 month! Cons: long-term antibiotic use is unhealthy; but my only other option was accutane, which is worse (actually started it but it made me feel like i was goin crazy) Bottom Line: give this a try. it is potent and can even clear persistant cysts (have used this in the past - each time with great results; but it does all come back pretty quickly if you stop) Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for about a month.
