i used 2 caps a day, but that was what the doctor pescribed to me when i waqs seeing him, and i allready had a massiv acne prob.. if u run it all the way trough your cycle i will think itt will bw ok with 1 cap a day..

[vishus]

take one a day for now, if acne still pursists and gets worse up it to 2, but ide say no more than 2 daily

tahke them with lots of wather, a cupple of glasses.. not with milk or protin shake.. u will gett the runs for the first week allmost, butt it will pass.. go 1 caps in morning 1 at night(read your post again, saw it was an existing prob) i you have seriouse acne probs, u will have to use it for 2-3 months.. i had too.. anyways good luck..

tetracycline is a pain in the ass...no direct sunlight...no dairy ...i had to take them all my life as allergic to many antibiotics...luckily i found a few others i can now take (well like 1 *L*)..anyway max dosage is 2x a day at 500mg /cap fro acne

You may need to make a choice between acne and steroids.
In many people, steroids *cause* acne, and in some forms (steroid acne), tetracycline just makes it worse.
Meanwhile, stay away from milk, all milk products, and that includes whey and casein. Use soy-sourced protein (or hemp) instead.

Is this because all the pus in the milk, can make the acne bad, cause I have bad acne in the middle of my chest, and starting abit on the upper back, I have had it for about 6 month , get worst slowly, what should I do?

[jimmyinkedup]

^^^ no its because tetracycline loses its effectiveness with dairy(effects it absorption) or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

I am living in canada, SO sunlight right now isn't going to be happening, I just would like to know what would get rid of my ance on the chest and back, before summer
