User Reviews for Claravis oral

My skin is clearing up slowly. I am in my 3rd month and getting a little frustrated. very dry lips and skin, some rashes on my arms, HAVE to wear sunblock all the time, some joint pain, headaches, i also get aggitated very easily(not like me at all). And its kinda expensive. But if i works in the end, it will all be worth it! :)Good luck to all users!

I have been taking 40mg of Claravis, once a day, for 27 days. After about 1 wk my lips began to chap and dry out, and the sides of my mouth tend to crack if I don't moisturize. My acne did get worse around 18 days in, so my dr. put me on prednisone to lessen the reaction. And on week 3 I noticed my left knee joint starting to hurt (I exercise and run regularly and hear that that side effect is common for people who regularly exercise). I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing anything similar, and if the joint pain will go away after medication is completed? Just today (day 27) I noticed a rash on the back of my left hand! I hope the results are worth the side effects!Read More Read Less

I was on Claravis for 8 months because of my acne and i am extremely pleased with the results. Even though it took such a long time it did exactly as described by my dermatologist. The first few months the acne did break out worse but around the 3rd month it began to slowly make the acne go away. Even though this medication dries out your skin i found Cetaphil lotion to keep me moisturized and regular chapstick, or carmex to help out my lips. I am extremely happy with the way it treated my acne and would reccommend it to anyone!!Read More Read Less

I began with very deep, bumpy acne on my cheeks and chin area. It just looked like bumps on my face. By the beginning of month 2, I had very dry skin. During the next several months, I experienced very chapped lips, dry eyes, occasional rashes on the backs of my hands, and dry patches of skin on my arms and legs. I also experienced fatigue, headaches, and some nausea around the same time every day (3-4 hours after taking medicine). My acne got worse, then better as the treatment progressed. By month 4, most of the acne was gone, with only deep acne remaining on my chin and lower cheeks. It's month 6 (last month) and I'm 99% acne-free. IMPORTANT: Take this medicine with meals - one time I did not and woke up with severe vertigo and nausea for 24 hours. Read More Read Less

I have been on 30 mg of Claravis twice a day for 4 months. My skin errupted in cysts that have left scars. My face and back are slowly clearing, but they are still worse than before I started on the medication! I am disappointed in this holy grail of acne medication.

I NOTICED RESULTS WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH USING AMNESTEEM

I took this medicine when I was 15 yrs. old for 4 months and had wonderful results. Now I am 30 and after 3 children, my acne has returned. I am in my 3rd month of 2 per day 40 mg pills and can tell a great difference. Couldn't really see a difference until now. The Dr. can give great samples for your dry and cracked lips

I was a bit frustrated during 1st to 3rd month because I felt my acne was getting worse. In the middle of the 3rd month I finally started to clear up and now (starting month 6) I am completely clear. Chapped lips are the norm; dry scalp is making my hair look great; self esteem is higher than ever since I started getting compliments on my beautiful skin. I would recommend this medication to anyone with persistent acne.

Been taking Claravis 30mg for 2 weeks so far. Week 1, dry lips. Week 2, very dry and swollen lips, peeling skin around mouth and nose, itchy scalp, slightly red skin, sensitive to sun. Skin is already clearing...will continue the course of treatment.

My son has been on Claravis for almost one month. His lips are very dry, with the corners of the mouth cracked the most. Makes it difficult to open the mouth to eat. He has had a slight change in his demeanor. He is aggitated easier. His acne is responding well with his face responding better than his back. He takes 40 mg. twice daily. His nose is also dry, causing nose bleeds. He has had his second blood draw to check for elevated cholesterol (results not known at this time).

During the first month I took 1 40mg pill daily. Week 1, no change. Week 2, sensative scalp and reddening of the face/ arms. Week 3 sensative to sunlight and dry lips. Week 4, dry lips and skin felt very tight. I have now started my second month and now take a 40mg pill twice daily. Week 5, My face is alomst completely clear, something I have never experienced. However, tender scalp, dry lips (just use lots of chap stick or petroleum jelly) Week 6, bright red arms with a dry rash(use Eucerin calming lotion), and I am beginning to notice some mood changes, I seem to get angry easier. All in all the medication seems very effective as long as you can manage the side effects. Read More Read Less
