Are acne pills bad for you?

are acne pills bad for you?

Acne pills in general should not pose any kind of threat to your health. Prescription acne pills are provided by and with permission from your doctor who knows if you can take them. The labels on over the counter acne pills should be read over to make sure that they will not interfere with any other medications you are taking.

yes and no acne pills will cure your acne but 2 many pills could make the skin on the bottom of your feet peel off real bad cus of all the vitamin A!!

Typically reserved for moderate to severe acne, oral antibiotics such as tetracycline, minocyclene, and erythromycin, these medications are prescribed for prolonged periods of time, typically 4-6 months. These agents suppress P. acnes and have antiinflammatory properties. As with topical antibiotics, combined use with Retin-A will enhance results, speed response time, and minimize side effects.

Isotretinoin:

Also known as Accutane, this drug affects all four of the contributing factors to acne. It increases exfoliation, preventing comedogenesis. It also decreases sebum production (which may also result in dryness in the skin, mucous membranes, and eyes). it also precipitates a diminished growth of P.acnes, resulting in less inflammation. This therapy is resevered mainly for those with severe and/or cystic acne or patients who have not responded positively to other treatments. The length of treatment is typically 4 months, doses varying according the the severity of the acne. This treament is associated with long-lasting remissions, allowing for acne-free skin even after medication is finished. Teenagers with cystic acne are at higher risk of relapse after the course of medication is finished. In this case, another session of treatment will be required. Sometimes it may take two to four courses of treatment before permanent remission occurs.

Some other causes for treatment failure are inadequate dosing and interferance of other medications such as lithium and phenytoin. Those with a history of sinus tract disease may also be presented with some minor complications and should speak to their doctor.

Side effects of the drug may include dryness of the skin, eyes and/or mucous membranes, headaches, nasal irritation, increased sun sensitivity, hair loss, diminished night vision, and birth defects if pregnancy occurs during the course of treatment. Female patients must not be pregnant when using Isotretinoin. Two forms of reliable birth control are essential during treatment. A safe cushion before becoming pregnant after the therapy is approximately 2 to 3 months.

Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
