Antibiotics inhibit Steroid gains???

**gmfoun** · 02-25-2006, 06:30 PM

I started my summer cutter two weeks ago. Before that I went to my dermatologist to get rid of some bacne. I was prescribed an antibiotic called doxycycline at 200mg a day. I told one of my buddies about my prescription and he said that antibiotics actually reduce gains from steroids when you take them during a cycle. Is this true or what?

I've been on antibiotics while on a cycle and gained just fine.

I was thinking that if there is a difference it is probably very small. Even less than the negative affects of anti-e's

All antibiotics lower protein synthesis in the body by about 1%. Pretty insignificant actually.
