If Tetracycline stains the teeth, how long do you have to be on this antibiotic for that to actually occur?
I mау οnlу bе οn іt fοr 2-3 months, іѕ іt worth іt? Wіll mу teeth gеt discolored іn thаt time frame? Wіll I hаνе tremendous stomach upset? Hеlр, I аm οnlу іn mу mid 30′s аnd dont want thеѕе side effects.
Although tetracylines can certainly cause discoloration of the teeth, that really only happens when the teeth are developing, which is in early childhood, so you should be fine, that particular side-effect is not going to happen to you if you’re in your 30s.
chillax, you’ll be fine ask your doc.
You have your permanent teeth so it will not discolor your teeth. It should also not cause stomach problems. If it does talk to your doc and he can advise you. I believe you mentioned rosacea as why you will be taking it and normally with rosacea they put you on it permanently to keep the rosacea under control.
