Bactrim for Acne

Hi,

Has anyone taken this antibiotic for acne? Did it work? Were there any side effects? I read that it could cause some Svenson's disease or something...I am a bit nervous. Anyone have information?

I have not taken it, but I have a friend taking it and she swears by it. Her face was a mess and now it is really clear.

Re: Bactrim for Acne

i didn't take it for acne, but when i was in high school and went overseas the teacher made us get some from the doc to take as a precautionary measure. and at that time when i was 15 or so i had moderate acne, and it did help it alot. good luck with it, it can make you a little sick to your stomach, that's the only side effect i noticed

Re: Bactrim for Acne

It works great at clearing my acne, but I don't take it regularly because I don't want to become resistant to it (which WILL happen when you take antibiotics). Some side effects for me are nausea (take it at bedtime and only take half a pill a day), and it also makes you feel like you have a bladder infection sometimes because the sulfer is harsh on the urethra (sorry - too much info! That's what my doc told me!)..

Antibiotics also kill the GOOD bacteria in your body and encourages yeast to grow.
