"i&#039;m taking monodox and using tretinoin. i&#039;ve only been using both for a week now, but i can say i&#039;m already seeing improvements.  i had initial breakouts which is normal and i used to get really nauseous and throw up from taking monodox, but i guess i completely forgot that my dermatologist told me to take monodox with food. trust me, that makes a world of a difference. i&#039;m really excited to see where my skin is going to be in a few weeks, because my acne is really clearing up and all that&#039;s left are the red spots. remember: take it with food"
