"this medicine is great. i just started developing acne 2 years ago (i&#039;m 26). i tried everything from eating raw/clean, eliminating dairy, drinking more h2o... and all of the other &quot;free yourself of acne myths&quot;. i hate being on medicine. i&#039;m a very, live natural person. i did a lot of research on this after my dermatologist prescribed it to me. it seems to not have any long term side effects. i learned quickly, within the first 2 weeks of taking it, you have to take it with food starting out. i would throw up otherwise. but when you get used to it, it&#039;s fine. i also made the mistake of having 1 beer with it when i first started taking it. definitely puked after that. anyway, my skin cleared up immediately.  like 2 weeks after i started it!"
