I was prescribed this medicine from my dermatologist for problem with
blemishes. (pimples) I don't have acne, i just have breakouts.I was
instructed to take 1 tablet 3 times a day and after my 2nd dose I
started
to itch and now have a rash. I stopped taking this medicine as i'd
rather deal with the pimples because they don't itch.
