    On One Hand: Many Acne Pills May Cause Drowsiness

    Many acne medications, such as Tetracycline, warn of side effects including possible drowsiness. Experiencing drowsiness is possible from acne medication taken in capsule form. It is not recommended that you drive or take part in other potentially dangerous activities until you are aware of how the medication affects your body. If drowsiness or other side effects persist, contact your doctor.

    On the Other: Not Everyone Will Experience Drowsiness

    Though some people do experience slight to extreme drowsiness, acne medication doesn't affect everyone in that way. The medication can be very helpful to patients with moderate to extreme acne, so drowsiness might be a small issue to deal with in order to clear up the skin condition.

    Bottom Line

    Weigh the benefits of taking the acne pill with the cons, and talk with your doctor to decide what is best for you. Depending on the severity of the drowsiness, you may find that clear skin is worth the side effect.
