Pros:

After the first 3 weeks I started to see a vast improvement, heals spots, prevents cysts and reduces redness.

Cons:

As with any antibiotic for acne, it takes time to see the effect, beeee patient!

I take 4x250mg per day along with using Isotrexin Gel at night and a little BP duringn the day (as Isotrexin peel away like a face mask gradually) along with a basic moisturiser with a little Jojoba Oil. Seems to be working well so far :)

Pros:

I stopped getting pimples after a week of taking the medication.

Cons:

You cannot chew them you have to swallow them whole.

Anything that takes one week to work is a great product. Highly recommend.

Pros:

Cleared skin well without drying it out.

Cons:

Caused an upset stomach and you can build up resistance to it.

I was given the tablets of this to take for an unrelated infection, but I noticed that within a few days, it started to clear my skin really well. You may have to face a few days with an upset tummy though and I'm not sure that it can be used as a long term method of spot prevention.

Pros:

Worked great! (The topical gel form) Clear skin, for the first time in years! I felt so good! I didn't hate mirrors anymore!

Cons:

Unfortunately, good things come to an end... I guess the bacteria eventually became impervious to Erythromycins wrath...

Well, I started taking it at around mid October, that is my when my skin began improving. By mid November of 2010 my face was completely cleared! Not a break out in site! So much that I started only applying it every once in a while when a single spot came out of nowhere (very tiny spot) but for the most part I was acne free for about 5 months until... until late March... they started appearing again... I smothered my entire face with the topical erythromycin gel hoping that my old friend would destroy them, but no, nothing but a little dryness... Bottom line is, enjoy the few months of clear skin, but know that it will eventually come to an end...

Pros:

It cleared my skin of redness and spots after just a few days. Beautiful.

Cons:

After a few months, I suddenly came up in tons of spots over my forehead. Was very confused????? . I stoped taking them for a month..and the spots came back as quick as they went.

They do work to some degree.. just make sure you complete the course.

Pros:

These tablets really worked for me! i've been on them for about 3 months and can see a huge difference. the redness has dissapeared and there are not as many puss filled spots. It works very well with benoxyl peroxide cream.

Cons:

When i first took the medication i felt sick and was in bed for 3 days, however, i didn't stop the medication and eventually got used to it.

Basically, it was 100% effective and was FREE! (beacasue it was prescribed by the doctor) .... i definatly reccomend it.

Pros:

Acne will clear up!

Cons:

Peels if you move your face a lot when it sets.

Just use it 2 times a day and your acne will clear up! I use it after I shower in the morning then when I'm about to sleep. The only thing to worry about is not moving your face around to much or it will peel off. So no more funny YouTube videos for you!

Pros:

After two days I can already see a difference in my skin, Reduced redness. I no longer wake upto 5 new spots each morning full of puss. My mates can see the difference and it really helped my self esteem.

Cons:

No cons whatsoever upto yet. I think it's probably due to the fact im pretty healthy all over.

You can't get much better than these tablets. No side effects for me. I am very pleased with the results. Ask your GP / Dr to presribe these for you and hopefully you should get the same results as me. It hasn't cleared up completely but im only at the start of the course. Just remember to wash your face as usual.

Pros:

Got rid of my severe cystic acne!!
Minimizes breakouts

Cons:

Daily dosage was way too much..I started off taking 3 pills a day, but then it was increased to four!!

I had severe cystic acne when I began taking Ery Tabs..It helped control my breakouts and I didn't get as many cysts. Daily dosage was a bit of a problem for me, but if you want clear skin, it's worth it..I'm not on it anymore, though..Now I take Minocycline two times daily while using differin at night and benzoyl peroxide in the morning.
