"went on apprillon (oracea) for 3 months, had great results. i stopped taking them because i learned that i should be on birth control while taking them as the medication has been linked to birth defects. i&#039;m not sexually active but it threw me off a bit, i don&#039;t like taking meds to begin with but i couldn&#039;t shake the idea that they could have that much of a negative effect. however, after months of not using it i&#039;m thinking of taking it again, since my skin has returned to its previous state. i had no side effects, and it was covered under free health care/insurance. 
all in all, 10 out of 10, would take again, would recommend."
