JR86 0 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I'm on cephalexin. best AB I've tried. and it is safe to use on accutane. I think the reason I'm not getting cysts is the antibiotic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beentheredonethat 6 Share Posted September 20, 2006 whats the difference in the meds you mentioned above (are ones more powerful than the others for acne? prefered? less abusable? i dunno im on mino) thanks for the helpWhat she is saying is that all antibiotics are OK except the ones that end in -cyclin. This is because -cyclin antibiotics can interact with Accutane and increase the risk of a serious side effect called psuedotumor cerebri. There is no increased risk from other types of antibiotics, just the -cyclins. The ones she listed are the ones commonly prescribed for acne that aren't -cyclins.
