tetracycline question

[shrimp44]

just wondering, and i wanted to ask the scientist on here lol
I am currently on tetracycline and it says to take on an empty stomach, how important is this because now that i am bulking I rarely am on an empty stomach lol

also it says do not lay down 30 mins after you take it? i was curious why they say this, i don't get this?

they say not to lay down for 30 minutes after taking because it will give you some intense stomach acid - you'll get bad heartburn.

best thing to do is pop one first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

there's gotta be some point in the day where you're an hour after eating a meal and 30 minutes before eating another one right?

If your not getting stomach aches, don’t worry, can’t believe that drug is still on the market, must work, I got it as an anti biotic in the 60’s,

it doesnt work for acne very well anymore. They have stepped it up to minocycline and even cephalexin for acne. Pretty soon bacteria is going to be resistant to everything.

You can get tetracylcline and minocycline from pet supply stores - they use it to clean fish tanks.

is minocycline better? because its been about 3-4 weeks and on my cycle, my face is still getting decent break outs

your best bet is to take your tetracycline 1 hour before, or 2 hours after a meal,,,,,when you take this medication with food ,especially food containing calcium and iron, it decreased the absorbtion of the tetracycline.
