sulfa medicine

Has anyone ever taken sulfa meds for acne? If so, can you get it(the pills) without a prescription? TIA. Renee.

Re: sulfa medicine

ya know my bottle never said..it reads Bactrim DS..(double strength). I took 2 a day..i went to the emergency room 4 times after taking it and all the doctors in the ER said that was a high dosage for long term acne use. Did a doctor prescribe this for you?

Re: sulfa medicine

Right now I'm taking Erythromycin but I was thinking about asking my doc for a sulfonimide. I take 500mg 2Xday of Erythromycin and it isn't helping much?!
