"i am 43 and have been taking monodox for a few weeks.  it is working great with no side effects.  solodyn also worked great for me but had so many side effects that i had to stop taking it.  i am also using a topical with retinal.  in my 20&#039;s i took accutane which worked for about 10 years.  started getting cystic acne again in my late 30&#039;s.  i am very pleased with this medicine."
