My son has just turned 13 and has developed, what I thought, were only zits on his forehead, however our family doctor says he is developing Acne and has prescribed Purbac. I am a little concerned as I do not like anti-biotics...does anyone have any info or side effects of this drug?

Purbac is a combination antibiotic containing Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim.

Some of the most common side effects include: nausea, drowsiness, diarrhea and skin rash.

Have you tried any other options, such as over the counter treatments?

I've used Purbac for years to control my problem skin and have found it to be very effective.

the use of antibotic s should only be used in cases of abcessed boils, antibotics destroyed normal bacteria in the stomach an intestines, Acne is a trying prombem for teens, astringents as witch hazel to wipe skin off after washing will help, if your son has difficult blackheads tell him to place a hot towel just as hot as he can stand on his face for 5 minutes before trying to remove blackheads this opens the pores more, so sores are not developed, tell him cut down on chocolate an increase his diet esp. with tuna in spring water helps skin an hair, check your son s ears on the inside as pimples an blackheads form there too, a large hairpin can be used to extrude these

The low doses you need to control the skin infections don't normally negatively affect the helpful gut bacteria.

I am a 37-year-old male with acne problems for the last 25 years. I have tried everything to fix the problem but with no luck. Then I tried Purbac for about 14 days and it cleared it up totally, honestly no acne what so ever. About a week, after I stopped using the purbac the acne was slowly coming back. I then started to use Purbac nonstop and no acne or even a hint of it popping up again. My skin even feels stronger and much healthier.
Now my question is how long I can use Purbac with what safe dosage so that it does not do harm to my body? I do understand that any antibiotic does have side effects.
