A member asked:
Can i take antibiotic 'vibramycin for example' for acne with biotin 10,000 ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why the biotin?: Who's told you to take biotin? Take an antibiotic for acne only on a physician's advice and NEVER as the sole treatment, only as an adjunct to topical benzoyl peroxide or retinoic acid or salicylic acid. Acne is serious business especially now that you're getting older. You'll need guidance from your own physician here.
