Must take an hour before meals or wait 2 to 3 hours after to take medicine. This doesn't help when your stomach is empty... Nausea can occur.

It's a surprise attack to the acne bacteria.
It's cheap.
Cons:
When u stopped using it, IT BACKS WORSE or WIT OTHER BONUS DISEASE.
I ended up with PUSTULAR ROSACEA. (It will make your face red and sensitive to ALL).
Gastrointestinal problems. (that in fact makes acne worse)
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.
Pros:
Cleared up my acne after about 5 weeks, zone by zone.
Cons:
I don't count the "having to plan your meals" as a con, because everybody with acne knows that this is a very small price to pay for something that helps.
However - I think I'm developing a yeast infection - my testicles have become red and itchy. Not good.
Pros:
Cleared skin, but eventually became resistant to it =(
Cons:
increased sensitivity to the sun
Pros:
I only take it when i break out and clears them within 3 days, i forget to take it so thats why breakouts remind me to take it again lol
Cons:
has not cured my acne
Pros:
I used this and it kept my acne the same everyday never really got ride of it all but i didn't get any big pimples from it until.
Cons:

Pros:
