Erika, Bellingham, WA Apr 3rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cleared my cystic acne in a week and a half. Tetracycline worked wonders for me. Cons: When I was taking four pills a day (two at a time, twice a day) I felt really nauseous about an hour after taking the pills. Also the schedule of not being able to eat when you want really stinks... Bottom Line: Although I'm sure that tetracycline doesn't work for everyone, I think it's worth a try because it worked so great for me. I went from having really terrible skin to just dealing with the leftover red marks now. I didn't have an initial breakout and a month in to using this antibiotic my results are getting better and better. I am taking this pill along with retin-a at night and clindamyacin gel in the morning (spot treating with BP). I take my first pill when I first wake up and then eat breakfast an hour later. I take my birth control pill at 7:00 pm. I take my second pill around 11:00 pm after I have stopped eating for a couple hours. This schedule seems to work for me. Recommended: Yes Usage: Erika has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 5.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

mother, california Mar 17th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: My 13 years old daughter started to take it 1.5 weeks ago. Cons: I have to remind her to take the medicine 30 min before bed. As per instruction she has to sit or stay during 30 mins after she took the medicine. And no vitamins supplement 1.5 hrs before and after. Bottom Line: It seems like it works, Acnes almost gone, no redness, and inflamation. She is happy now. We will see how long we have to take it. Our doctor told us to take it up to 6 months. Recommended: Yes Usage: mother has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 8.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

gwen, los angeles, ca Mar 15th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: it works! i didn't think it would but after the two month mark all of a sudden i noticed "hey, my acne is gone, when did that happen?!" Cons: it makes me bloated and takes two months to work, but stick with it! Bottom Line: i started taking probiotic supplements from trader joes with the tetracycline and my digestive system is no longer mad at me. my scars are gone too and if i do get a sudden break out now it seems to be period-related, but definitely not as bad. seriously, if you are about to give up after being on it a few weeks, stick with it!!! i had my doubts but i am doubting no longer!!
