Pros:

-Clears acne moderately well.
-Pills are easy to swallow.

Cons:

-GAVE ME HORRIBLY UPSET STOMACH.

I had inconsistent bowel movements and frequent vomiting on this pill ): I am now taking Solodyn, and it is working wonders! My doctor says Solodyn is less abrasive on the gastrointestinal tract. If you have a sensitive stomach like me, I suggest Solodyn instead!!

Pros:

It got rid of my strep throat in the 5 days I took it.

Cons:

I have never had acne in my life! As a teen I got occasional pimples (like a few a month) about 3 days into taking my 5 day supply I noticed some site showing up on my cheek, then the other, then my forbear and temples. I look like a 15 year old with horrid acne! I am 23 and have ALWAYS been complimented on my extremely clear skin! Looked online to see if it could be the antibiotic and found several others have had the same reaction.

If a doctor prescribes it agai. I wil ask for a different antibiotic.
