Any ever used ampicillin for acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not effective: Combining antibiotic therapy with the use of benzoyl peroxide decreases the development of antibiotic resistance and improves treatment efficacy. Antibiotics most often used is doxy- or minocycline. Cephalexin has also proved to be less effective than tetracyclines.
