Jeez... After reading the side effects above, I wonder if there is anything these days that is safe to take...

I don't know about the contraceptives and their effects on acne or the safety of the types that would be prescribed for this. I have not taken any hormones of any type for several years. I know that long term antibiotics are not good, but this was the only thing that helped with the acne.

It is really embarrassing to have acne when you are postmenopausal...
