Pros:

It clears you up.

Cons:

..but for most people who have had consistent acne it will come back after you get off it (within 4 months)...So you'll then have to decide if you want to get back on it or if you want to mess with Accutane

so yeah it's good...but it's not a long-term fix

Pros:

Cleared up my moderate and cystic acne. I've taken it for 2 years. It's been a god sent, I'm no longer self conscience about my face.

Cons:

I wonder how long I can stay on this med. My doctor is trying to lower my dosage, but the acne starts to creep up again.

It's been a god sent, I'm no longer self conscience about my face. It also has an extra benefit for me. I no longer get painful boils on my body. All in all, I highly recommend looking into it.

Pros:

None for me personally.

Cons:

I had a horrible allergic reaction, including some of the reactions listed as severe and "contact your doctor if"

I couldn't use this because it made me very sick.

Pros:

great for my face , i have been using for over a year and i love no side effects. Keeps any break out from getting out of control.

Cons:

The size !!!!!. If i don't get down on the first try it starts to dissolve and taste nasty.

Great for acne , as long as you don't suffer from any of the side effects

Pros:

Brilliant stuff cleared up my skin completely in a few weeks. No spots or whitehead. Everyone should stop complaining about the size of the pill. It's worth it for skin so clear!!

Cons:

None

In only taking half a pill a day and still clear!

Pros:

With insurance, this antibiotic is cheap.

Cons:

It's been over a month and it hasn't changed my breakouts in any way. It's also a huge pill -- slightly bigger than those women's one-a-day multivitamins. And it's uncoated, so it doesn't go down very smooth.

Different anti-b's work for different people, and I don't think this one is working for me. The doc has me on it for two months, so there's still some time left -- but you're going to be fairly disappointed if you're looking for quick results with this one. I had better results on doxycycline back in college -- but the side effects were nasty (nausea + yeast infections!). At least with this one, I can't say I've had any nausea or yeast infections! Just MAKE SURE to actually drink a full glass of water after taking it.

Pros:

Cleared up Acne in no time. I have tried EVERYTHING (minocin, birth control pill, Doxycycline, tetracycline, you name it I have tried it.... including Accutane. My Obgyn prescribed this for me and it has been a GODSEND!

Cons:

Pill is a little big but the pros outweigh the cons

I live in the south and this is one of the drugs that is free from ourr grocery store. So I don't pay ANYTHING to take it! Gotta love that. If you have tried EVERYTHING else and nothing seems to work....give this drug a shot.

Pros:

Gets rid of most of my cystic acne

Cons:

Doesn't always work, but best thing other than accutane which i don't want to take.

Works well, especially when used with a topical routine, but for me did not always get rid of all my cystic acne, nor did it always prevent new acne from flaring up. I used it about a year ago with good results, cycling on and off. Did not use it at all last year - tried to manage w/ just topical. Florida heat/humidity plus stress of exams put me over the top and went back on it a month ago. Works well, but not necessarily good to use antibiotics long term. May try accutane, but do not want to risk its side effects if I can help it.
