However, since it%26#039;s an antibiotic, it shouldn%26#039;t be taken for a long period of time. I%26#039;m only on it for three months. One month into it, and I%26#039;m seeing fantastic results.|||I have been on about 4 different types of BC pills over the last year. My obgyn just started me on Sprintec. She said the hormone levels don%26#039;t fluctuate during the cycle with these so hopefully that will help. I had the same problem with acne. You may have to try a different pill to see if that works for you.|||I have the same situation as you, some birth controls actually CAUSE acne, so its best to get the right one, aka- one that was designed to cure acne, like Yasmin. In addition, you can take antiobiotics for your face, like Doxycycline. If you are using the birth control for birth control, taking an antiobiotic reduces the effectiveness by less than 1% of the birth control though. so keep that in mind.|||Not sure, There are many different types of acne treatment that people can use.
