i am currently taking 2 875-125mg of amox/clavK (augmentin) a day, prescribed to be for my very bad sore throat (possible infection??).
my question is, i hear a lot of talk of antibiotics being prescribed for acne sufferers, so why hasnt this antibiotic that i am taking helping my acne at all? will my acne get worse when i am done with the antibiotics (only on them for 10 days)? i guess i dont really understand how antibiotics work in the first place so if anybody can help me out with these questions it would be much appreciated. also, is there a special antibiotic for people with acne? the doctor made it sound like the Rx he gave me was the only kind of antibiotic, or at least the best, out there.
