Sareena, London Feb 2nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: No more acne! Cons: Long term antibiotic use-must have some undesired effects. (Have not experienced any myself) Have lost quite a bit of weight, but not complaining! Bottom Line: I had terrible acne which developed quite late, was 28 and it came without any warning! After trying everything I could i was prescribed Crime thoprim by my doctor. I didn't see the results straight away, but after about 2 months or so all my spots have vanished and i don't get new ones. I would recommend it to everyone! Recommended: Yes Usage: Sareena has used this item for about a year. Price Paid: 6.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Carolina, Los Angeles, CA Jan 29th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: So far so good. Not drastic results but it's only day 2 and I've noticed my acne is drying up and swelling down. Cons: Nothing Bottom Line: I'm not sure what I have. I have moderate skin; however, Dr. tested my skin and my cultures came up positive for an infection. It looks just like acne and it's all under my chin/neck area. It even started spreading on my face! As soon as I started taking Bactrim, it's slowly healing. I really hope this works. And I hope I'm not allergic to this! Recommended: Yes Usage: Carolina has used this item for a day or two. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

luckymee, SoCal Jan 22nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: clears skin the very next day! so easy! Cons: can cause yeast infections...yuck! Bottom Line: i have tried everything under the sun and trust me this pill works!! i saw improvement the very next day!! i haven't had any spots since i started taking this. Kind of a big pill but just drink lots of water (i only take one a day). It can cause yeast infections but i take a probiotic along with it and i've had no problems. i wish it wasn't an antibiotic so i could stay on it forever!!!!!!! my confidence has been boosted so much!! Recommended: Yes Usage: luckymee has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 9.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Brittney, Nashville, TN Jan 19th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Didn't upset my stomach like most antibiotics do. Seems to be clearing up my back acne. I got it filled for free at Publix Cons: Large pills...must be taken 2x day Bottom Line: I started taking them on Thursday, it's now Monday and my back acne seems to be clearing up. I've been taking them in conjunction with a sulphur wash and topical treatment (Ziana). Hasn't done much for the light acne on my face. Recommended: Yes Usage: Brittney has used this item for about a week. Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Anonymous, NY Jan 17th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: clears any existing breakouts makes them smaller by the next day, stops any new pimples from forming (although i did get 1 or 2 new smaller pimples when i started it- perhaps these would have been cystic ones if i didnt use bactrim?) Cons: Made my back, arms and legs itchy, a lot of rashes everywhere, scratching non stop. feeling tired all the time. Bottom Line: works, but only as short term while ur on it. made me itch, ive stopped taking it and not itching as much, it will take a day or 2 for this product to get out of my system and i will stop get rashes completely. Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 8.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Emy, Boise Jan 14th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I love this prescription. I took it last winter because I always break out in the winter and it cleared me up completely within a few months... when I came off it I had almost an entire year of clear skin. Had to go back though :( Cons: Nothing for me...taste bad if they get stuck in your throat. Bottom Line: See a dermatologist. I know that it is expensive for most of us... but it is worth it. Even just the idea that something is helping you can make it better. If your skin reacts well to sulfur I would really try this... and for me it wasn't one of those treatments that takes several months to see results, it works fairly fast. Recommended: Yes Usage: Emy has used this item for a day or two. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

indygirl Jan 13th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: none!! but I did learn I am allerergic to sulfa. (my first allergy ever) Cons: huge pill, hard to go down, very bad allergic reactions Bottom Line: this pill was HORRIBLE for me. I started it 3 weeks ago. about 1 1/2 weeks into it I had a fever of 103 and had swollen lymph nodes and a severe migrane and chills. I went to immediate care but the idiot on call doc. said it was the flu. So now 2 days ago I started getting a rash. Today i went to the doctor with a rash on my legs, arms, hands, and worse of all it traveled from my legs to my butt to my back. I also have a sore throat and a bad hedache. My doc. said its good i came in as soon as i did b/c it could have gotten worse if i didnt stop the pill. Recommended: No Usage: indygirl has used this item for a few weeks.

snatch, London,uk Jan 8th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: clears some spots, minimizes red ness as they are anti-inflammitory. Cons: didnt work aswell as i thought, first week of using it i broke out with two massive spots on my chin. However i think it might have somethng to do with the fact i developed a tolerance for doxycyline as i used it for 9 months. Bottom Line: if you are going to use trimethoprim make sure that you wernt on your last drug for more than 3-5 months, jst so that your body doesnt creare too much of a tolerance and give the trimethoprim a fighting chance. Recommended: Yes Usage: snatch has used this item for a few months. Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Lulu, Idaho Jan 6th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: This stuff cleared up my skin in just a few days. My acne has been very severe and painful, and I think it is caused by taking lithium. Bactrim has been amazing for me! Cons: Big pills are hard to swallow, have to take twice a day but it's all worth it Bottom Line: Works really well for my medication based severe acne. My face pain was reduced the day I started taking it. Recommended: Yes Usage: Lulu has used this item for about a month. Acne severity: severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Jessica, Galveston, TX Jan 3rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Got rid of my larger break outs but i still have little bumps. It took about 2-3 weeks for it to start showing results. Cons: If i forget a pill, i notice the next day. I don't know when i'll ever be able to come off it! lol Bottom Line: It's a good acne medication, but i think they're is better out there. Maybe it's just my skin type though. Good luck to everyone else using it though! Acne blows! lol Recommended: Yes Usage: Jessica has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 17.25 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
