Pros:

I am a die hard fan of Bactrim. I was on it all through high school and my skin was amazing. Completely loved the stuff.

Cons:

I think it kind of messed up my stomach a bit but it was alllll worth it! The only bad thing about taking an antibiotic is you can't stay on it forever:(

Use it.

Pros:

Pleased for the first week only.

Cons:

Helped my skin at first, but now I'm breaking out really badly on my chest and neck, worse than ever. I was at first pleased with the results, but now i'm having second thoughts. I'm breaking out worse than I ever have now.

I'm still waiting to see if this works, it has been terrible recently though. I have been using it for almost 3 weeks.

Pros:

Quick result. Less acne with a regular routin cleaning of your face.

Cons:

Headaches and nausea but if you drink lots of water, headache should disappear. Plenty of water and take it in full stomach so that you don't get headaches and nausea. Frink plenty of water for sure.

I'm still taking it. It seems to work. Been taking it for 2 1/2 weeks now. I heard there are some side effects like kidney problems etc.. but still have to ask my Dermatologist about it.

Pros:

It worked well, I have only been taking the product for a week.

Cons:

I broke out in a rash and is now suffering from a sore throat.

DO NOT TAKE, this medication it is very dangerous. I have never had a allergic reaction to anything in my life until I was introduced to Bactrim. If you want a great face, a bad rash and a horrible sore throat this is the drug 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:

This medicine works! I have done everything. you name it i've done it...literally. My acne is under the skin so it's a little more complicated to heal but this medicine knocks it out.

Cons:

IF you miss a day of taking this medicine you will have a break-out. Makes mouth dry.

I've tired everything under the sun for acne. it's hopeless to cure my acne with a ointment or a fash wash...won't happen this is my only choice in not having acne.

Pros:

I guess it worked a little bit.

Cons:

Huge pill, nausea,

Most people said this worked for them but it DID NOT work for me. I didn't have an allergic reaction but its almost like it didn't affect my skin at all. And it made me lose weight like crazy. Which shouldn't be a problem but for someone already being 20-30 pounds underweight it was quite an issue for me. You think for all those side effects it'd work like a mirace but nooope, not for me.
