Tetracycline?
Common side effects are upset stomach, diarrhea, nausea, headache, or vomiting. Extreme, but very rare, are stomach pain, yellowing of the eyes or skin, vision problems, and mental changes. I would say it's safe to take the meds, just be aware of the side effects, which do not occur 100% of the time. If you experience any of the more harsh side effects PLEASE CONTACT A DOCTOR ASAP!! I want you to be well and confident. If the meds work, you're awesome. If you have side effects you may stop taking them and try using gentle daily scrubs like I do. I've always struggled with acne, but it has improved drastically with average face scrubs such as Clean & Clear daily pore cleanser (there is a cool tingling kind too) and St. Ives Apricot scrub. You can buy these at almost any drug or grocery store for just a few dollars. Scrub until your skin feels kind of tingly and rinse! Hope all goes well. Let me know how things turn out for you with the tetracycline.

Does tetracycline cause depression?
Two months seems like a long time to take an antibiotic, but or course your doctor knows best. One of the possible problems mentioned about Tetracycline, is drug-induced hepatitis. This can cause fatigue, which may be confused with depression. Do you have any other symptoms? Additionally, if you take antibiotics for awhile, they will kill off the good bacteria in your gut, causing candida, which I have heard can, sometimes, make you feel depressed. Talk to your parents about this. Tell them how you are feeling. Try taking some acidophilous and eating yogurt to be sure you are getting the good bacteria back, into your system. Talk to your doctor if this or other symptoms persist.

How does Tetracycline and Penicillin differ?
Tetracycline and penicillin are both antibiotics that work in different ways. Penicillin is bactericidal- it kills bacteria on its own . Penicillin prevents the bacteria from building a rigid shell, the cell wall, needed for its survival.Tetracycline is bacteriostatic. It does not kill bacteria directly. It does prevent them from multiplying efficiently, keeping the population of bacteria small so the immune system can remove them. Tetracycline interferes with protein synthesis by acting at the bacteria's ribosome. Tetracycline cannot be concentrated enough in the human cell to affect protein synthesis.

Go see a licensed medical professional.Your local training body for dermatologists will have issued binding guidelines for the empirically-validated treatment of STIs in your location.

What happens when I give drugs that contains oxytetracycline to a dog and a cat?

Candidiasis (thrush) is not uncommon following treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Can tetracycline be use for treating gonorrhea?
There is a controversy that exists, as to whether Gonorrhea and Chlamydia are the same thing. From my experience, i do believe that they are, though most doctors and professionals will tell you otherwise.Anyway the cure for Chlamydia is 2 Azithromycin 500 mg or 1 or 2 Azithromycin 1000mg pills taken once with water… that’s it, this one dose cures the Chlamydia. - Repeated only if necessary.-And if Chlamydia and Gonorrhea are in fact the same thing, then this is also the cure for Gonorrhea.
