Guest Locked In Grace Share Posted October 14, 2006 I'm really not sure to be honest. Those anti's do promote poor health though, anything is possible with a compromised immune system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RSXBOI 1 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 I fear that this Tetracycline has caused my hair to weaken drastically. I used to have a strong full set of hair..Now it seems the front is shedding more than usual and the hair is thinning.Only thing I can think of is the Acne Med I've been taking...It makes me weak, get sick often and now my hair.It helps Acne but messes everything else up..Sucks...

Whiteh 0 Share Posted October 14, 2006 If i were you i would stop taking tetracycline RIGHT NOW. Yes, it kills all bacteria...but it also kills the good bacteria as well. I used to be on it until I heard about this, also i did notice that I wasn't feeling as energetic and was feeling a lot more tired. You're a fool if you stay on it.

Ben100604 62 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Maybe you are just starting to lose your hair naturally? Could be coincidence. Personally, I've never noticed any hairloss due to antibiotics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
