Tetracycline Reviews

Working / Worked
I was on Tetracycline for years with no problems. My Pharmacist says they are not making it anymore.
Working / Worked
I don't use antibiotics anymore, but when I did they helped out a lot. I just don't feel that is a good way to treat acne, as it is only temporary and I didn't want my body to resist the antibiotic. The side effect that was bad, that I had was the antibiotic would make me throw up at times and feel nauseated.
Working / Worked
I was on 500 mg of tetracycline twice a day for years. Unfortunately I was reinfected and had to alternate between this and Biaxin though after a while I became immune and switched to Cefdinir
Worked for a while when I was younger but has no effect at all now
Working / Worked
Taken a few years a go, it did work and only had the occasional zit. Considering going back to it now.

Sometimes it makes me sick to my stomach. I doesnt make me vomit. My pharmacist said that I need to take a probiotic if Im going to be on Tetracycline long term. I take Natures Bounty chewable probiotic. The pharmacist recommended chewable. The strawberry flavor doesnt taste too bad to me. It kinda helps with the upset stomach too. Benadryl or Dramamine help with upset stomach too. I know Tetracycline helps my acne. Im sure it helps lower the occurance of abcesses too.
