acne antibiotics!

[solidsnake]

i read that acne antibiotics are only effective for about 3 weeks so what i want to know is, is there different types of acne antibiotics i can use so i can run one type for 3 weeks and when the bacteria becomes ressistant i could run another type for 3 weeks? if so could anyone please list all the most effective antibiotics used to treat acne!

also a place were i can buy them online using paypal or evocash would be FANTASTIC!

I believe Tetracyline (sp?) is a antibiotic based Acne medication. I was on it for 6 months do to roid related acne and it did nothing.

I would highly suggest trying B5 for Acne before you try any prescription type drugs.

b5 woked to well and made my face all flaky if i took too much

 

[solidsnake]

so i take around 3 grams each day?

 

[solidsnake]

so can anyone list all the antibiotics anyway?

Mincin AKA Minocylcine is one. I was on it as a teen for years. I would NOT reccommend long term antibiotic use to anyone as there is a very good chance it will screw up your digestive system. It did mine.

I wish I had known about B5 as a teen.

Staying on antibiotics for acne is not a good idea as mentioned above. Most likely your body will develop a tolerance to the drug after a long enough period on it. The longer you are on anti's the more you destroy good bacteria residing in your system. I was on minocine for a year for acne and after that it became ineffective. Worked great at first but after it stopped working, the acne came back even worse.

If you are going to use anti's, don't stay on them too long and make sure to use proper precautions (liver protectants, probiotics to replenish good bacteria, lots of water, etc).

yea if i take yakult each day [good bacteria] then that will top it up as normal so ill be able to stay on the antibiotics all year round!

also can dbol fuck up the digestive system as i still have swollen glands after a cycle and its been a year and i get the odd stomach pain.

Not necessarily bro. Just like steroids, you should "come off" anti's as well. The human body has a remarkable ability to adapt and build a tolerance to drugs. If you stay on any acne drug (tetracycline, minocine, etc) your body WILL build a resistance to it after enough time. For me it took a year to develop a tolerance to minocine. If anything I recommend that you "cycle" your anti's just like you do your steroids. Come off or switch to another drug, but don't stay on the same one for too long.

Dbol will fuck with your liver. The reason you may be getting swollen glands after a cycle is because steroids can lower your immune system, thus making you more susceptible to viruses and whatnot. What drugs are you on? Fina? Steroids in general alter and throw off balance to your hormones...digestive system, liver, kidneys, just about everything CAN be affected.

I'm not sure about the 3 week thing. I went to a dermatologist for my massive acne outbreak on my chest/shoulders and he put me on antibiotics for 2 months. After a month I went for a follow-up and had only started to see results a week earlier. He said it'll take a couple months to get max results. After the second month I was 80% cleared up and he said I wouldn't need any more and that the rest would clear in time. Sure enough...a month later and I was clean (actually cleaner) then ever. I picked up a couple tubes of Isotrex (topical Isotretinoin) that I've been using for about 4 weeks so far. It's that same active as acutane but doesn't have all the sides and possible complications of oral 'tane. Only cost me $50 for enough to cover my stomach, chest and shoulders for 6-8 weeks...which is the suggested minimum length to use it. No telling if it works till the next cycle...like 'tane, it prevents acne as opposed to treating current outbreaks.

your saying your using topical accutane? Its not a retinoid correct like tazorac or retin-A that your are mistaking for topical accutane? My pops told me theres no such thing and hes a doctor. I would really like to get it if there is such a thing. You say the name is isotrex? Whats the dosage your taking and how expensive is it? I have back acne, not from steriods, just have had it since I was 14 and now 7 years later still have it pretty bad.

 

[solidsnake]

so the isotrex is the same as accutane? if so were can i buy it online? and is it effective?

Yes...Isotrex is the name. I'm looking on the original box right now. It's 30g gel Isotretinoin USP 0.05% made by Stiefel. If you do a Google search on Isotretinoin you'll find out that it IS accutane. It may not be available in the states so your dad/doctor might not be aware of it but it most definitely exists. I can't say how effective it is because my outbreak was gone before I started it and only time will tell...in theory I shouldn't have another outbreak on my chest shoulders ever again if it does indeed work. PM me if you want more info.
