| Pros | Cleared up my acne in 5 months. |
|---|---|
| Cons | -I had moderate acne and it took 4-5 months to clear my acne. -Acne returns once you stop taking them. -Lips and skin are dry. -The first few months are the worst as it makes you break out. After that your acne begins to heal. -Stomach aches. -It's poison to your body. |
| Bottom line | This has too many bad side effects and it didn't work too well for me even tough I used it for six months. |
| Recommended | No |

| Pros | NONE |

| Cons | Did absolutely nothing. Waste of time. Still get spots and no improvement in redness. |
| Bottom line | I was on sebomin when I was put on this. Sebomin is much better and doesn't need to be on an empty stomach |
| Recommended | No |

| Pros | My acne was beginning to clear up after about a few weeks, with more improvements, like less redness and inflammation, after a month. The pills were easy to take, and I didn't really experience much appetite loss. |
|---|---|
| Cons | However, having to take it on an empty stomach, or an hour or so after a meal, can conflict with some people's schedules. Yet, my biggest issue with Tetracycline is that it proved to be ototoxic ("poisonous" to the ear) in my left ear, leaving me with mild tinnitus that has persisted for two years. |
| Bottom line | Apparently all drugs in the Tetracycline family can be ototoxic, but I presume many more drugs have the off chance of being ototoxic, as well. I can't completely rate the drug on its effectiveness, since my doctor instructed me to stop taking immediately after the tinnitus set in. If you're willing to take the risk, then Tetracycline may prove successful, but I have switched to the topical cream Azelex, which has no chance of causing tinnitus (unless you put it in your ear...). |

| Pros | cleared up acne within 1-2 months |
|---|---|
| Cons | remembering to take it |
| Bottom line | I had pretty bad acne and eventually I went to see a dermatologist. He prescribed me to take tetracycline twice a day. Within a month to two months, I did notice a change in my acne. Now I only get one or two pimples just around the time of my period. I tried every other product, Neutrogena, Clean&Clear, etc, but nothing helped my acne except this life saver! The only con I found with this product was remembering to take it and planning it around meals (and learning not to lay down right after I take it or I got really bad stomach aches). Once my acne cleared up I missed a few days, maybe even a month before I started to take it again. But even during the time I didn`t take it, I never broke out. |

| Pros | +clear my acne within weeks |
|---|---|
| Cons | -sun sensitivity -i became immune i guess |
| Bottom line | i have had moderate/mederately severve ance since 6th grade. My mom told me that when she was my age everybody took this drug for their acne. I went on it and within a few weeks my skin was looking better and was healing. This was in Septemer. By the time June came, my doctor wanted to take me off because I'm still in high school and "irresponsible" with sunblock. My skin kept on looking fabulous until mid-August (maybe i got stressed because I didn't do my summer reading), but I broke out again. I decided to go back on this "miracle drug" for the winter but it had no effect anymore : ( I have tried a few other antibiotics since and none have worked like Tetracycline |
