Pros:

Time release capsule so only one per day. Works very well, no side effects.

Cons:

Very expensive! Unaffordable without insurance or winning the lottery.

My son started to develop cystic acne (like I had) so the dermatologist put him on Solodyn 90 mg. Once the breakouts were brought under control, about two-three months later, he is now 95% clear!! This product does take a while to wipe out the acne in your system so do not expect overnight results. Also, for max results, use a topical Rx from your doc, my son uses Diff gel and Duac... when I saw my son over the holidays he was 99% clear. The drawbback to this med is the cost!! A 90-day supply was a staggering $1060, but $160 with insurance. I will continue this for awhile because it works.

Pros:

Cleared my skin

I have a cleared skin after 4months of using Solodyn. Its a great medication, but not cheap. I hope that if I stop using it the acne does not come back.

Pros:

Works Fast! My derm gave me a card, so it's free everytime I take it!

Cons:

None!

I've been taking solodyn for about six months now (45mg). My dermatologist is making me get off of it, so i'm taking a pill everyother night now, instead of every night. I'm really worried that I'm going to start breaking out again. Has anyone experienced bad things after they stopped taking it?

Pros:

I used to get bumps like every other day but after my dermatoligist perscribed Solodyn, for one month and I did not get any bumps.I stopped using it only because I started on accutane...

Cons:

Thank God for insurance because the medicine is very expensive. It was $532.00, but with my insurance I payed $100.

I would recommend this to anyone that is really in need of something that works...
