A member asked:
What are other good acne pills besides accutane?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Only oral acne treatment is accutane. No other oral medications will treat acne but antibiotics will treat the bacteria that leads to acne propionibacterium acnes. All other acne treatments involve topical formulations.
