Pros:

Worked for me!

Had been on two or three other antibiotics previously with little to no improvement. Was very mild on my stomach, although my sister almost threw up when she was perscribed it!

Pros:

It clears up my skim pretty well. I still get a few pimples here and there, but the meds do kick my break outs in the butt.

Cons:

If you stop taking this med the break outs will worsen. Its a med you have to keep up on.

It works!

Pros:

Cleared my acne up greatly and quickly!!! Even after i stopped using it, my acne came back only in small pimples, which was very controlable.

Cons:

Very mild skin sensitivity to sunlight.

If you have bad or even moderate acne, and afraid of harsh side effects of other antibotics such as Accutain, then this stuff is for you!!!!

Pros:

The medicine is inexpensive and has low side effects. The other anti-biotics I have taken cause pretty severe sensitivity to the sun, but I did not expereince this with Bactrim.

Cons:

I have mild-severe scalp acne. The bactrim does not completely stop break outs, but it does prevent the larger postules from forming.

There are more powerful anitbiotics available, but they have stronger side effects. Bactrim will probably cure your mild acne problems, but it doesn't perform as well for severe cases.

Pros:

I've tried EVERYTHING to clear up my acne on my back, chest, and face and nothing has worked but this. And it works VERY well while you take it. I experienced no negative side effects that i know of.

Cons:

Only works while you take it. Doesn't permanantly get rid of your acne. When you stop taking it, you break out BAD. But I've been taking it for six months and haven't experienced anything bad so as long as I keep taking it I'm good!

It works very well. I highly recommend it!

Pros:

Clears skin fast. I havent had any breakouts what so ever since starting. Seriously not one new spot. I am amazed its crazy, ive been on other antibiotics but nothing compares to Bactrim DS. Im only taking it until I go on Accutane 5 weeks from now.

Cons:

Give's me a yeast infection, so I dont want to stay on it for too long. I dont like the ideal of taking antibiotics for long periods of time. Im gonna do Accutane and get it over with. I am clear now but once I stop the Bactrim I will break out.

This stuff works and fast so its worth a shot, especially if you have something important coming up in a few weeks. Some people are allergic to it so be careful. Im all good though except for the whole yeast infection but im taking care of that and also bought some yogurt which will help too.

Pros:

it worked from the day i started until the day i quit. really did clear up my acne which made me so ecstatic

Cons:

two weeks later i had a severe allergic reaction. first i had fevers and body aches, then i broke out into a whole body rash.

this was actually the first product that has ever made my face so clear. it felt so uplifting. but then i had a severe allergic reaction to it, so i stopped taking it. my dermatologist had warned me about it, but i'm not allergic to anything so i thought that i wouldn't be allergic to sulfa drugs. i started breaking out a little bit after stopping, but its not as bad as how my acne was before. i've been just using retin a cream, which didn't work before, but now it is. i also used minocycline before this and that did nothing but worsen my acne. bactrim works, but its a risk with having a reaction or not.

Pros:

IT DEFINATELY WORKS. I STARTED GETTING ACNE AFTER I HAD MY SON AND THE DR. PUT IN AN IUD. AFTER THAN MY SKIN WENT TO HELL. SORRY FOR THE WORD BUT THATS WHAT HAPPEN. I HAVE NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH ACNE BEFORE.

Cons:

I REALLY HAVE NONE OTHER THAN LARGE PILL AND IT WILL CAUSE NAUSEA IF YOU DON'T EAT BEFORE OR DURING THE TIME YOU TAKE IT

IT REALLY WORKS BUT THE ONLY CONCERN I HAVE IS TAKING AN ANTIBIOTIC FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME SO I AM DOING RESEACH ON THIS ANTIBIOTIC ONLY. I USED PREVIOUSLY BUT HAD TO QUIT BECAUSE I HAD A BABY AND STARTED BACK A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND RIGHT NOW I AM NOT TAKING IT BUT AM STILL CONCERNED ABOUT MY SKIN SO I WILL PROBABLY TAKE IT FOR A WHILE QUIT GO BACK TO IT.ECT... MY FACE LOOKS GOOD RIGHT NOW BUT MY UPPER BACK HAS BROKE OUT AGAIN SO NEEDLESS TO SAY I WILL HAVE TO START TAKING IT AGAIN. I ALSO HAVE A PICKING ISSUE SO I AM SURE THAT KEEPS ME FROM HEALING AS WELL. GOOD LUCK TO ALL.
