This medicine has been absolutely incredible for clearing up my acne. My derm has prescribed me so many antibiotics in the past (Mino, Doxy, etc.) and they haven't worked one bit...UNTIL I suggested the use of Bactrim. At first he seemed reluctant to put me on Bactrim because of the severe allergic reactions a person has to sulfer based medicines. I told him I was willing to risk an allergic reaction because I was so fed up with the business of having continuous, painful cystic acne that just seemed to develop on my chin area. So far it's been only 2 weeks on my treatment of Bactrim and I'm almost completely clear. There's a healthy glow to my complextion that I've never had before, and my cystic acne on the chin area has stopped. Thankfully I have not yet suffered any allergic reactions to this medication like most people claim to. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that bactrim will continue to work for me. Yay for bactrim!
