Hi there,
I believe Rifampicin is the main drug in your tablets,if so then I can confirm that Acne is one of the side effects of the drug.
But kindly don't stop your medications without your doctors permission.
In the mean time I would recommend Duac Gel to apply to the avmcne spots once or twice a day.
When you complete your therapy with Rifampicin then the induced acne should go away.
Thanks very much and all the best.
