I have been on Sulfameth for years. I took it for acne for about 3 years with out a single side effect other than being slightly more sensitive to light. My dermatologist switched me to a different acne medicine (accutane) after the three years but I went on Sulfameth again a few years later for a bladder infection and it cleared it right up with out any problems. I am back on Sulfameth again for acne and it has worked wonderfully for me with out any problems! I think it's a very helpful drug.

My doctor has switched me off of Sulfameth and onto Doxycycline for acne treatment since he claims Sulfameth has been causing kidney failure in an above normal amount amount of people. Sulfameth has worked very well for me and a lot of the postings here suggest that Sulfameth is being used to actually treat kidney issues or bladder infections as well as acne. Does anyone have any input for me please?
