Best Acne Treatment. Antibiotics (ABX): Considerations

• Using BP with topical ABX is strongly recommended to reduce
the risk of bacterial resistance!
• Oral ABX are useful for more extensive/severe inflammatory
acne; however, due to bacterial resistance concerns, shorter
“pulse” courses may be preferred over longer-term maintenance
therapy.
• Topical antibiotics are useful as follow-up to an oral ABX course.
