I Know Which Acne Treatment Works...Do You?...CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT...
What can you tell me about the Tetracycline antibiotic for acne?
I am 13, and I think my acne is more or less mediocre-severe. I have tried numerous topical treatments, without results.
So today my doctor perscribed "Tetracycline" for me. He says there are no side effects, but I’m not one to trust doctors all that much. Err, so I’m wondering, what should I expect? Is this going to completely clear up my skin, or just somewhat improve it? Will it get worse before it gets better? ARE there, infact, side effects? What difference will it make if I DO eat it with food/on a full stomach?
Please, do not hesitate! Tell me EVERYTHING you know! Thank you in advanced…and go!
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…..
