tulipbaroo 0 Posted November 30, 2009 For those of you who have experienced an initial breakout with Spiro, what dosage were you taking? Were you taking anything else? Also, can I take Spiro with an antibiotic like Minocycline if they're both in low dosages? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine07 0 Posted November 30, 2009 Yes you can take a antibiotic with this drug! i'm on 200mg of doxycycline a day and 150mg of spiro a day, so you can also take high dosages with both of them! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine07 0 Posted November 30, 2009 btw, i'm on my 10th day and had no IB i'm sure if I was gonna get one it would of came by now, taking a antibiotic probably helped with that but I was also on it a hole month before I started the spiro! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buke 0 Posted December 1, 2009 btw, i'm on my 10th day and had no IB i'm sure if I was gonna get one it would of came by now, taking a antibiotic probably helped with that but I was also on it a hole month before I started the spiro! I am also on an antibiotic and spiro. I'm taking 500 mg of ciprofloxacin, and 50 mg of spiro a day. The antibiotic kept my acne under control for like 3 weeks, but the spiro is over powering it now. I'm starting to get acne again. It's been a little over a month, so like one-two more months the IB should be done, and I can get off the antibiotic. So, Sunshine, don't think you're guarenteed no IB. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nila 0 Posted December 1, 2009 Ciproflaxicin? I was prescribed that for something else over the summer... I think I have tons left over though lol I'm on Day 9 of Spiro and my IB is horrible... RED RED RED flaky burning skin - I look like I have a red beard. I'm so depressed. I feel really ugly and I hope this goes away at least a little bit. By the way I'm on 50mg a day no antibiotics.
