Reduced acne on my back reasonably well, but works better in combination with topical treatments such as Dual and Isotretenoin. Mild stomach upset experienced. Avoid all alcohol and best taken first thing in the morning.

I've been taking this medication for 1 and 1/2 months now, so far I notice a change in my skin for the better. But from time to time I get dizzy and rapid hearbest specially within the 2 hours of taking it. I'm going back to my Dermatologist in 2 weeks and inform her of the rapid heartbeat at night.
