We get this question alot, 'Can I safely (and effectively) take AcnEase® while taking a prescription medicine?' Whether your other prescription medicine is for acne or something else, we have all the answers you'll need (and if you don't see your prescription medicine listed below, please reach out to us and we will get you the answers you need).
Accutane is presently a subject of a class action suit due to the severe side effects and has been taken off the market. Generic forms of Accutane are still on the market and prescribed. If you decide to stay on the generic Accutane (Isotretinoin), know that it carries the same adverse effects as Accutane. In addition, according to American law, you lose your right to be compensated for any damages caused by the drug if you use the generic form of it. There is no counter indication to using AcnEase® and Isotretinoin together; however, we don't recommend using them together since we are very concerned about Accutane and generic isotretinoin products adverse effects and do not want to be associated with them. Additionally, we don't know if taking them together would make AcnEase® less efficient because of those adverse effects. Ultimately, we do not want our product to be associated in any way with Accutane and Isotretinoin.
The best approach is to complete your antibiotic treatment before you start AcnEase®. There is NO adverse interaction between AcnEase® and antibiotics, but since antibiotics have a number of adverse effects like increasing sun sensitivity, possible GI (stomach and intestines) issues, allergic reactions, and of course with a long-term use, the possibility of developing resistance to them, we do not want to be associated with those side effects. In addition antibiotics are metabolized by the liver and this may reduce the efficacy of AcnEase® if you use antibiotics long term (over 6 months). If you are to use oral antibiotics for a short term (1-2 weeks) or are weaning yourself off them to start AcnEase, you may use the product together for those last two weeks. AcnEase® has NO known side effects or counter indications. If you have to take antibiotics for a longer period of time for reasons other than acne, you may opt to use AcnEase® anyway. Please advise a physician before taking AcnEase® with antibiotics and observe all the precautions and counter indications associated with antibiotics such as sun restrictions and special diet.
You may use both. In time, AcnEase® should provide satisfactory improvement without any additional prescription products. Be aware however that topical antibiotics may cause a host of side effects including highly increased sensitivity to sun, so you must be alerted to that and follow necessary precautions.
Yes, you can take AcnEase® while taking birth control pills. AcnEase® does not directly impact circulating hormone levels in the blood and will not affect the hormones from your oral contraceptive (OC). However, if the ONLY reason why you are taking OCs is to control acne, think twice and familiarize yourself with the potential side effects of OCs including blood clots, more severe acne, weight gain, GI issues, tenderness of the breasts, etc. The ingredients in AcnEase® have natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects in addition to reducing sebaceous gland secretions. This combination of effects is responsible for the ability of AcnEase® to prevent new pimples from forming and treating existing acne.
Yes, you can use Paxil (paroxetine), which belongs to a class of drugs called SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) and AcnEase together. Paxil increases serotonin levels in the brain. It is a psychotropic drug used for depression, mood swings, bi-polar disorder, etc. As AcnEase® will not prevent Paxil and similar medications from working, please note that studies have shown that antidepressants like Paxil may increase the risk compared to placebo of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in children, adolescents, and young adults.
There are no contraindications for drugs used to treat hyperglycemia, such as metformin or other oral hypoglycemic agents. The ingredients in AcnEase® will neither impact blood glucose levels nor interfere with any medicines used for diabetes.
There is no interaction between AcnEase® and Synthroid or any other thyroid drugs used to treat hypothyroidism. You can take both medicines at the same time.
Yes, you may take any blood pressure controlling medication and AcnEase® together without any interaction.
Yes, you may take these medications with AcnEase® without any interaction.
The ingredients in AcnEase® will not interfere with these drugs; the only issue you need to consider is whether your GI system will tolerate the ingredients in AcnEase®. By this we mean that there are some people with food allergies that can develop mild diarrhea when taking AcnEase®. The ingredient most often associated with allergies is the dandelion extract. There is no data that the remaining ingredients are associated with allergic reactions. In addition, AcnEase® does not contain any soy-based products, GMOs and is gluten free.
1. GET INVOLVED!
If your Acne is severe start with 12 tablets a day and continue this increased dose for at least 3 weeks. In addition, if you start with 8 tablets/day (minimum standard dose) and after the first two weeks you do not see a noticeable improvement -- increase the dose to 12 tablets a day.
2. STICK WITH IT!
You need at least one full month to reap the total benefits! For those with persistent acne two months of consistent use may be necessary. Remember unlike antibiotics, Accutane and retinoids there are NO side effects so use AcnEase® worry free and reap the benefits
3. KEEP AcnEase® HANDY!
If you suffered from persistent chronic Acne, and after you have successfully completed a standard 1-2 month treatment you may want to have AcnEase® around for a "backup." You may elect to continue with a maintenance dose for a while (4 tablets DAILY) -or at least have available a "rescue dose". When one or two pimples reappear you can take AcnEase® until they disappear. This does not mean that AcnEase® doesn't work, it simply means that you may have to use it to make it work for you.
4. KEEP YOUR SPIRITS UP!
In general, AcnEase® is a very effective alternative for the treatment of teen or adult acne and rosacea. However- there are no miracle drugs that cure 100% of people for any disease. Each person is unique, with his or her own personal body biochemistry. For the majority of individuals the standard minimum dose of 8 tablets/day will start to show results within 1-2 weeks. To achieve significant longer lasting results the full 1-month treatment period is required. For persistent, severe and chronic acne a larger ( 12 tablets a day) and longer up to 2 month treatment is recommended.
Acne does not develop in 1 day or 1 week; therefore it is unlikely to disappear in 1-2 weeks. The more serious your acne the longer it will take for your skin to improve. The more serious your acne or rosacea the higher the dose you will need to take to achieve the desired results.
There is an open discussion about different food causing acne. Food is much more than just a source of substance; it is a very important part of our lives and culture – so let’s look at the relationship between acne and food in a more comprehensive way.
In general, food does not cause acne directly. Acne is a manifestation of an internal imbalance that causes over production of skin oil (sebum) and this extra sebum and bacteria will clog the pores, cause inflammation and result in pimples or cysts.
On the other hand, food can cause allergies (hives are also pimples but not acne) and food can actually create and/or exasperate the internal imbalance, and in this way exasperate acne. This is why those with acne prone skin should avoid sugary foods, too many carbs (they turn into sugar) and fatty, fried and spicy foods that may actually imbalance your body. Obviously if you have specific food allergies, are lactose (milk and dairy) intolerant, have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, you should follow the diet that is prescribed for those health issues. Otherwise moderation is actually key.
On the other hand, certain foods may actually help you to fight acne.
Here are just some of the best super-foods to use in the battle against acne. Bon-Appe'tit!
