"i&#039;ve had acne for years... this is the only medicine that works.  weird thing is, new dermatologist tried to talk me out of it, but wouldn&#039;t tell me why.  i basically told her that if she didn&#039;t want to prescribe it, i would just go back to the doctor who did.  at 41 years old, i know what works for me. another interesting side effect - i used to get ear infections and strep throat on a regular basis until starting this... haven&#039;t had either in years !"
