Pimples, Want To Take Aziwok. Side Effects?

I just want to know, whether I can take Aziwok - 250 tablets, whenever I get pimples , as I get pimples very frequently and one or two weeks after taking tablets, it will be fine, after that it keeps coming back. I am suffering a lot with these pimples. Please suggest which has no side effects, as i am still unmarried. Looking for your suggestions and help.

Hello
thanks for using Health Care magic .

I would be pleased to answer your question.

Azithromycin 500 mg can be taken three days in a week for a period of 6 to 10 weeks . You should however review your acne and topical applications of anti acne medications . You can use Neutrogena deep pore cleanser as a face wash and also use benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin gel twice a day on the full face .

Thanks and Take care .
