Experience with macrolide antibiotics
A personal report from someone on rosacea-support:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/rosacea-support/message/74674
Seems like for quite a few people, these drugs cause yeast problems (candida, thrush, seb-derm, etc). Something to discuss in detail with your Dr. / IPL practitioner before going ahead I guess.
Quote:
"Two weeks later I was told that I have Candida Glabrata, a less common and very difficult to treat strain of yeast. This strain is resistant to most of the usual anti-fungal therapies. I'll spare you the details of the course of treatment I'm now undertaking, but can assure you that it is a drawn out and very unpleasant process (and not even guaranteed to work!). Apparantly this type of yeast canbe extremely difficult to get rid of."
