My doctor has prescribed me a course of month of Tetracycline and Metronidazole for my acne. I've read that you should take Tetracycline on an empty stomach to help with absorption in the body. How soon do you think I am able to eat after taking Tetracycline? The reason I ask is because I have a fast metabolism due to exercise which comprises of a lot of weight training and I don't particularly like to stay hungry.
So far, I've been waiting an hour after taking Tetracycline to eat.
Also, how long can I stay on Tetracycline for? I've read some people have stayed on it for 6 months.

You have to take it 1 hour before meals or 2 hours after meals. I'm in the same boat as you, i'm bulking atm and eating 6 times a day. I take 2 pills right as I wake up and then wait an hour to eat. Then I eat my last meal at like 10 pm and take my last pills 2 hours later 10 minutes before bed. Of course this schedule only works because I:m on summer vacation right now. I'll have to change it and make it more strict once school starts.
