What can you tell me about the Tetracycline antibiotic for acne?
I аm 13, аnd I thіnk mу acne іѕ more οr less mediocre-severe. I hаνе tried numerous topical treatments, without results.
Sο today mу doctor perscribed "Tetracycline" fοr mе. Hе ѕауѕ thеrе аrе nο side effects, bυt I’m nοt one tο trust doctors аll thаt much. Err, ѕο I’m wondering, whаt ѕhουld I expect? Iѕ thіѕ going tο completely clear up mу skin, οr јυѕt somewhat improve іt? Wіll іt gеt worse before іt gets better? ARE thеrе, infact, side effects? Whаt dіffеrеnсе wіll іt mаkе іf I DO eat іt wіth food/οn a full stomach?
Please, dο nοt hesitate! Tеll mе EVERYTHING уου know! Thank уου іn advanced…аnd gο!
I took it when I was younger, it is not a miracle drug, but it does definately help clear it up. I don’t remember any side effects and I’m pretty sure I took it on full stomachs sometimes as well. I think you might want to be careful about sun exposure though. Hope this helps.
It depends, I tried it when I was younger and it did nothing for me and my acne was pretty bad. I don’t remember of side effects.
no side effects my ass………tetracycline is an antibiotic….my big side effect issue w/tetracycline has been nausea……it helps to take it when i eat……..its an antibiotic and antibiotics are notorious for being harsh on the stomach…….bout a month and a half ago i was riding in a car and had to have the driver pull over so i could puke on the side of the road…. im still taking it tho…..it definately helps with my acne…..well you gotta make some sacrifices but its up to you wot ur willing to endure….but who knows, you may not have any side effects at all, everyone reacts to meds differently…..im just telling you my experience with it…….makes me nauseated but works like a charm…..
