Probiotics: If a patient is taking antibiotics for acne, probiotic supplements may be effective in reducing effects associated with antibiotic and antiviral therapies such as diarrhea or constipation. The gastrointestinal tract normally has bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus (considered a probiotic) that help in balancing the immune system. Probiotics are generally safe in recommended dosages, but may cause mild diarrhea.
