    Can you go on a hormonal pill for acne (suchas Tetracyclen) while you're on the pill (I'm on Alesse) without decreasing it's effectiveness or messing anything up?

    ask a pharmacist for reccomendations and then go to your doctor and ask for reccomendations-- reccomendations for both prescription and over the counter.. get a counsel from both the doctor and the pharmacist, and read up on the medication you're taking. be sure to inform your doctor on medications you're on (they'll usually ask.)
