Zithromax

[Giggles]

I was thinking of getting back on Zithromax. I was on it years ago on a regular basis but stopped cause I was getting reocurrent yeast infections. Know I am thinking of going back on it. I was wondering if people on it notice a benefit in their skin? Less acne? My skin for some reason is so bad and I did some research and the drug of choice for acne is Minocycline but I saw some studies showed Zithromax worked just as well. So I thought I can go back on Zithro and not only fix my face but get an added benefit of helping my CF. My off months on TOBI are tough so I thought Zithro added back to the mix might help.

Any opinions, ideas etc.

I didnt notice a difference with Zithro because I was always on Bactrim for my MRSA & the Bactrim made a difference.

It would make sense to me tho....

I had adult acne at age 30 and tried all the regular stuff for it.... even went to the dermatologist and she gave me retin-A, which just tore up my skin. Then shortly before i was diagnosed with cepacia my DR prescribed Minocycline for the first time. I quickly started to notice each time my Dr. rotated me onto Minocycline sure enough my skin cleared up. After several months of off and on Minocycline the acne went completely away and has never come back.
I havent heard of Zithromax having any effect on acne but who knows. Even if it doesnt work to clear your skin you have the added benefit of it helping your lungs as you said.
