Skin care/acne

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has been on trimethoprim for acne ? I was referred to a dermatologist and have been told this is the last resort before Roaccutane.. which I really don’t want to take.

If you have taken it.. how long did it take to work ? And did it improve your skin ?

I’ve tried everything else (prescribed/non prescribed) and I’d never heard of this anti biotic for acne, which is surprising as I’ve researched it a lot .

The derm said only they can prescribe it and not GPs

Thanks for all your replies I’ve decided to stop taking them .. I just couldn’t handle the side effects I didn’t feel good at all. I only took it for 5 days and now have the worst thrush I’ve had in years! I’m going to stick to using duac and my Murad products.. I am also using a cream called chloe’s secret formula from a small independent business that has really good reviews for acne
