"This medication burned my scalp after a few days of using 1x/d. It made my condition worse, and I experienced many of the side effects. When you read through all of the side effects as well as how adversely it can affect your health, proceed with caution."

"My doctor prescribed this for me because I have diabetes and am also having chemotherapy for stage 4 liver cancer. I keep getting sores on my body that won't heal on their own. He thought this might work, and it has been a miracle worker on my skin. It's helping with the healing and the time it takes to heal. I think it's a great product and ever so thankful that my doctor was sensitive enough to give me this so that I won't be embarrassed by my sores."

"My doctor prescribed it to me, and the day after using it, it caused terrible reactions, and my facial skin condition got way worse. Probably the worst medication I’ve ever used in my life."
