gymrat7676 0 Share Posted May 15, 2005 i was on antibiotics about 8 -10 years ago for a few years and it hurt my stomach and didn't permanently get rid of my acne. so i went to a new derm today for my chin breakouts and she prescribed me this but i am nervous that it will have the same effect as internal antibiotics. i take acidophilus but i just don't know any opinions would be appreciated.

Jill M. 0 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I agree that Benzaclin is amazing stuff. I've been off and on it for a couple years now and whenever I find myself getting into a really bad breakout cycle I start using this again and I see immediate results!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boston50 2 Share Posted May 18, 2005 My kids both use this and have for a long time with good results. Any antibiotic has the potential to mess with your intestinal flora (as I understand it). It says so on the packaging. You should ask your doctor and/or continue taking probiotics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
