Untitled Document
Most common acne medication
are acne creams and cleansers, but what of acne pills?
What is acne oral medicine and is it any good? Some oral contraceptives
were used to treat acne with some success.
Antibiotics help to kill
the bacteria that are in the blocked skin pore. They are usually
prescribed for a more severe case, although sometimes a person
suffering from moderate acne may also be prescribed antibiotics.
Common prescription antibiotics for acne are tetracycline,
doxycycline and minocycline. Many women resort to oral contraceptives
as long-term treatments for acne. Oral contraceptives suppress
the over active sebaceous glands which produce the excessive
sebum and lead to blocked pores and acne. A new pill with
the progestin drospirenone has been known to be effective
in controlling this hormonal activity. |

effective doctor’s prescription?

do not like to the doctor and discuss their concern. Hoping that
the pill would work out, they would rather order and try it out
than go to the doctor for a prescription. Secondly, the pill sounds
and feels more comfortable than creams, antibiotics, face packs
and so on that a doctor or dermatologist would advise.
People also are swayed by the compelling advertisements on the
Net. Some of them are so eloquent and convincing, that it is not
surprising to see the sales jump up on this product. The pill is
not expensive, easy to obtain and is backed by extremely good promos.

Herbal acne pills
The fact remains that some of these pills are ayurvedic (herbal)
and are indeed effective. For every one pill that is effective,
there might be five that are duds. It remains that you should be

However, you should bear in mind that they are not as effective
as topical acne medication, like benzoyl acne and antibiotic creams.
