Pros:

been taking for 4 to 5 days now i think. Im pretty sure its helping. but i have been going tanning in tanning beds so that is also helping dry my acne up.

Cons:

it smells. i have been experiencing really uncomfortable itching where my brake outs are. Im thinking this is happening becuase its killing the bacteria? im not sure though if anyone else experiences this let me know! :]

its pretty affordable. I know it is helping but i also am doing many things right now to clear my skin so i cant say that its the number 1 thing thats doing the job. but i am going to continue to take it because im pretty sure it is helping. you also have to be pateint with stuff like this im sure we all know it doesnt go away over night. But i noticed i am having less break outs and the new pimples i do get are significantly smaller and heal fast. Its just the itching in my break out area is very uncomfortable...is anyone else experiencing this?

Pros:

None that I can think of

Cons:

didn't help my acne at all, may have allergic reactions - rash

I took this medication for about 2-3 weeks until I started having allergic reactions to it. My whole body had red rashes that stayed for about 5 days and itched really bad. At the beginning of taking the antibiotic, I had active mild-moderate acne and by the end it was worse. I do not recommend this if you have a lot of active acne like me.

Pros:

I was prescribed this medication for 7 days (4 500mg tablets daily) to help an infection from a bug bite. It immediately helped reduce the itching, redness, and swelling of the bite. No side effects experienced.

Cons:

I have never had horrible acne before, very midle. But, after taking this medication for 2 days, I noticed that acne on my face actually worsened during my prescribed time on this medication.

Worked to resolve the issue it was prescribed for me.
