I'm dealing with acne on my face and my doctor had prescribed some Adaplec cream along with an antibiotic pill, but I can't remember the name of the pill and unfortunately, the doctor isn't available right now. Could someone help me figure out which antibiotic pill might have been prescribed for treating acne?
