Pros -clears up cystic acne
-acts fairly fast (compared to other medications)
-affordable (covered by health insurance usually)
Cons -pretty much dictates your life; have to take it an hour before eating, hours after eating, an hour before you lie down, no freedom really
-may take a month or so to see actual results...BE PATIENT
Bottom line For cystic and moderate acne, this works wonders. It takes a lot of discipline to follow the regimen and instructions, but its definitely worth it in the end. Make sure you use with other topical face creams - I used it with Stievamycin cream for morning and then clindoxyl at night. The combo worked amazingly and now a year later I can say that all my acne is gone..there's still a few red spots from scarring but its nothing that make up cant cover up and it will go away eventually! I get a few pimples here and there but thats NOTHING compared to like 2 or 3 i used to get every day before!
Also, make sure you take tetracycline in moderation, and not for too long or you will become dependant on it. I only took it for 6 months, first 3 months was 4 pills a day, then after went down to 2 a day then nothing.
I don't regret using this at all - it doesnt hurt to try new medicines to get rid of acne!!
Definitely try this!!!

Pros It really does work. The doctor told me to take these (tablets) for 6 months. This will be my second month and now it has cleared up.
Cons You need to take on an empty stomach.
Bottom line Great product.

Pros Acne calmed down a little bit while taking them.
Cons As soon as I stopped acne became worse than before I was on them!
Bottom line I would suggest not to go on these tablets as you gradually become immune to them anyway and you break out even more when you come off!

Pros works well, use with the regimen , give it a try takes about a month!
Cons body overtime can become immune.
Bottom line my "moderate" breakout cleared after a month and has not returned, but this is the only time I have ever broke out. I stopped taking it and am still clear 2 months later, so I'm keeping a spare bottle on reserve.
Price paid $10.00

Pros worked ok at first seem immidiate clearing. but after a while stoped working as well as in the beginning. but this is diffrent for everybody.
Cons made skin very dry... annyoing having to wait 2-3 hrs after takin medication to eat..
Bottom line it helpled with my acne didnt make it perfect but made it better along with other products as well..
RETIN A MICRO along with the antibiotic is a very good combination along with a mostirizier because it while dry your skin out a lil bit but i think its worth it.
Price paid $20.00

Pros Took this a year ago for a couple of months after my first ever outbreak of acne and I had never had spots before. Worked great. just had a new outbreak and only been taking for 4 days and already helping.
Cons For it to work best you need to take on an empty stomach, so have to east around taking this medicartion.
Bottom line It totaly obviously depends on the person as with every medication, but these have worked very well for me both times and I would advise to give them a go.
