Anonymous, Orange County, California Apr 10th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I took tetracycline for 25 days for a CA-MRSA infection on my legs. CA-MRSA is an infectious disease. It is the strong germ in the hospitals that now is out in the community. Cons: I had very minor digestive problems. On discontinuing tetracycline, my lower cheeks and neck have broken out with acne. I don't like getting acne past age 60. Bottom Line: I need to return to doctor to see if tetracycline decolonized the MRSA. Perhaps the acne is a rebound from the tetracycline. Or perhaps the new tree oil shampoo I tried caused the acne or the acne IS MRSA. I would hope for a MRSA vaccine so that people can resume activities where they touch objects that other people touch!

Tetracycline Victim, UK Mar 25th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Bottom Line: TETRACYCLINE DOES NOT WORK!! I've taken 60 of these pills(2/day). It gave me severe dry skin, a darker, weird complexion on my face, my acne got worse, I got this itchy rash on my eyebrow, I had(still have)digestive problems; gives me gas(burping)and queeziness. I followed the instructions and after 60 pills NOTHING IMPROVED. It's probably snacking on my immune system or something and God knows what else - bottom line: It ISNT HELPING me in any way,shape or form and I'm keen to get off them.

Liv, WA Mar 10th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Good for acne loss for a few months. Does not dry skin. Cons: After awhile, the pill stopped working. Bottom Line: After about five months on the pill, it completely stopped working to the conditions I had always taken it under. Yes, there were less pimples than before I took it, but pimples were still there and were not clearing up. I have now switched to minocycline and am much happier. Was this comment helpful?

Lilly, Michigan Feb 22nd, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Clears skin (it just takes time!) Cons: I'm always hungry, so having to wait until the medication has digested in order to eat again, is hard for me...but worth it! Bottom Line: I was on Minocyclene for 6 months, and it did nothing for me. Then my Doc prescribed Tetra 2 times daily at 500 mg. and at first I noticed nothing. After two months, I have no acne- maybe one or two pimples. I also get glycolic acid peels. This medicine is cheap, and really works. I promise, just give it 2 months.

Ally, Canada Feb 15th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Worked quite well for about five months. Cons: No food/dairy! Bottom Line: I took tetracyclen for only a month, back in September and durring the month I saw no results, but about a month after all my cystic acne on the sides of my face went away. I originally asked for tri-cyclen, the birth control, but the doctor misheard me and prescriped me tetracyclen? Anyways, My acne went away for about four months but came back... Only on my chin though, I hardly get acne on the sides of my face anymore, except when I do it's still cystic. But give it a try if you want, but I wouldn't recomment staying on it for a long period of time because it's not too good for you since it's killing all bacteria!
