I took some, basically, left over Minocycline from an earlier presciptio til it was done. I was experiencing some pretty severe swelling on and around the nose, and breakouts as well. I called the Dr. whose laser tech had worked on me in Oct. and he put me on a 1 week course of Clarithromycin, 500 mg, twice a day. That was a week and a half ago. Finished the course, it seemed to really help, then the last day or so I starting breaking out. Couldn't figure out what was causing it at the time and thought, "There's no way it could be the antibiotic."
I have another 2 week course of Clarithromycin XL, once a day, and took one Friday but have not since. I have two huge pustules on my face right now and am unsure as to what to do or where to turn. Has anybody had a problem with antibiotics and Rosadying clashing? Is anybody still on antibiotics? Could this outbreak be due to the Clarithro?
Desperately seeking answers.

Ric,
I use Clarithromycin 500 mgs with double strength rosadyn and find they work very well together. Probably better than either one alone. I plan on staying on both as my primary treatment as my response has been very good.
