15 medications where acne is among the most-reported events, ranked by number of reports.

These are medications for which acne appears among the most-reported events in FDA adverse event reports. A report does not mean the drug caused the event.

This list shows drugs where this event is among their top reported reactions, not every drug ever associated with it. This information is not medical advice. Do not stop or change a medication based on this data; discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider. Data from the FDA Adverse Event Monitoring System (AEMS), formerly FAERS, via OpenFDA.
