| Pros: | Since acne is partially created by bacteria, it cleans from the inside. It's a daily pill which requires no creams or washes. |
| Cons: | Made me feel extremely nauseous, so so results, long period needed to see results, and need to stay of it to keep results. |
| Bottom Line: | Personally the nauseousness and constant cycles of taking these pills stopped me from taking them again. The pill does help acne but must be taking for a constant and sustained period of time. |

| Pros: | Helped to reduce redness and tough dry skin. made the skin feel softer and helped it look better. |
| Cons: | Was extremely sensitive to the sun so I had to avoid getting sunburned even if I was out in the sun for 20mins. After 1hr of taking the pill I felt realy sick for at least 10-15mins maybe more. |
| Bottom Line: | Had to take 2 pills a day for 3 months because I had really bad acne. I was going to go on it for another 3 months but because it kept making me feel sick of the last 2 months that I had to take it I had to stop tkaing the pills. It is very afordable and works quite well but do take in to mind the side effects. Also as soon as I stoped taking the pills almost all the side effects stoped besides being sensitive to the sun but that only lasted about a week after I had stop taking the pills. |

| Pros: | None |
| Cons: | Upsets your stomach no matter what you eat or when you take the pill. Seemed to have the adverse effect with me and actually turned my mild-moderate acne to a full flair up that took Retin-A to zap up. |
| Bottom Line: | I was prescribed this by my dermatologist and why I dont know. I explained to her that I have sensitivity to antibiotics. This product made me sooooooo sick. I could not even eat because I was so naseated. The product caused more acne for me and now I have more scars from the breakouts this caused to prove it. |

| Pros: | it's a charm! it got rid of my zits in less than 2 days. in a month, i'd say my skin was about 90-95% acne free. it's also really cheap! |
| Cons: | i read that taking antibiotics daily for more than 6 months is bad for you. plus, after 2 weeks of not using it, everything goes back. |
| Bottom Line: | if you want quick fixes, this would be a good temporary solution i guess. it's just not something that i think should be taken for more than a year. check your dermatologist. |
| Recommended: | Yes |

| Pros: | It's definitely made my acne less red and less frequent after only a few weeks
I take it an hour after eating with 2 full glasses of water and I haven't had any stomach problems so far |
| Cons: | I recently noticed a number of rashes on my skin. I don't know if this is just due to the fact that antibiotics due that sometimes due to bacterial imbalance or if I'm having a negative reaction
I don't like the idea of taking antibiotics for so l |
| Bottom Line: | See how it works for you. Everybody is different |

| Pros: | Easy to take |
| Cons: | Can really upset your stomach (I experienced terrible heartburn, even taking it with food). DO NOT lie down after you take this drug (wait at least 2 hours)! |
| Bottom Line: | I would not recommend this. I ended up stopping after a few weeks because it upset my stomach so badly - and I ate a small meal before I took it (I also tried taking it wiht a bigger meal, with no change). I didn't see any difference in those few weeks, but I wasn't on very long. |
| Recommended: | No |
