Pros:

Works great for me!

Cons:

Smelly pills. Can cause some stomach discomfort if taken on an empty stomach. If I take it with food, no problems!

I had mild acne throughout high school and tried many different Rxs... I have allergies to almost all antibiotics so my options were somewhat limited, but this was the only med that cleared me up (nothing topical ever worked). I was off of it for several years and right around 21 I broke out worse than ever before. I went back on cephalexin and my acne cleared up within a month. I am 24 now and still on b/c I am scared to break out again if I stop. Wanted to make sure my skin stayed good for my wedding last year! Since my skin has been clear (aside from an occasional period pimple) for quite some time I am gradually reducing my dosage... Also, in addition I only use facial products w/out fragrance and wear mineral makeup which probably also helps... BTW: To the individual who said this is for bacterial infections, not acne: ACNE IS A BACTERIAL INFECTION! Do your research!

Pros:

Almost gets you there.

Cons:

Smell.

I'm actually unsure wethere my face is clearing up due to these pills or if it's the Differen cream because I was prescribed both at once. This was the first think my derm prescribed to me, back when I was thirteen. It had no effect and gave me TERRIBLE stomach aches every single morning. Two years later my derm decided we should re-try this after some other medicine messed with my white blood cell count. This go around I have no stomach pain and while my face isn't clear it's at least better, this after only a few weeks.

Pros:

Works very well for acne, very cheap compared to other methods of acne treatments.

Cons:

Smells horrible, Tastes bad

This is a very good drug for acne. Although it may not work for everyone, no one drug works for everyone. This drug is used to treat acne because Acne is a bacterial infection for all of the people who don't understand why it is used to treat acne.

Pros:

Easy to take

Cons:

If you burp or cough after taking the pill a it can taste really BAD

Took it for about 8 months and did virtually nothing for me. It's basically an anti-biotic. For me it's been such a waste of my time and I am still stuck with acne. My dermatologist was reluctant prescribe something new so after 8 months I will find a new one derma.
