11 Jan 2017 My hair is thinning. Anyone else experiencing this. I've been on it for 6 months. If I take suppliments for my hair will this solve the problem

06 Oct 2015 It is making my hair fall out. I didn't know what was causing it at first, but I've narrowed it down. My hair is so thin now. I'm hoping it will grow back now that I've discontinued it. If anybody else has had this problem, please let me know, and let me know if your hair grew back. Thanks.

26 Apr 2011 It definitely worsens the rosacea. Certainly, does absolutely zero for outbreaks - except to exacerbate them. I am strongly considering filing a formal complaint about it with the FDA. My face is a mess with red blotches and that piece of garbage medicine does nothing!!

20 Apr 2011 I have severe racea. So far the medication seems to be helping a bit but the side effects make it difficult to continue taking this medication. I'm not certain if the side effects are due to the other prescriptions I'm taking. The bone pain is primarily at night and is so severe that I'm up most of the night. The pain is not as frequent during the day.
