Is its safe to take azithromycin 250 mg daily once for 2 months to treat mild acne? as prescribed by derma, im into 2nd month, with no side effects but heard that its not good for the gut & can cause resistent to bacteria?

Acne is a complex disease but should have passed. I would spend $ and go to uptodate.com and read ALL ABOUT IT. then discuss with your Derm again. Ask that you and he do a risk benefit analysis and then you can decide the risks you want to take.
