    I have had extremely good results with this medication so far - after only a week my skin has improved drastically. I did notice mild nausea at first immediately after taking it, but that seemed to subside after a few days and so far I've no other side effects whatsoever. Medications affect everyone differently but so far this one has worked wonders for my skin!

    Been taking this for two weeks now and it's seems to be working along with washing my face with St. Ives apricot scrub in the morning and then Cetaphil at night. Did make me sick the first week but it's getting better. Please try the scrub and Cetaphil with this meds if your acne is still not gone yet. it works and i paid the derm $150 to figure this out.
