Tetracycline on cycle??

**oldman** · 05-17-2006, 10:08 AM

Not sure if this is the right place but it seems like it would be..

anyhoo.. What is, if any, the issues of taking Tetracycline AB while on cycle? Doctor gave it for acne but I did not want to use I heard one time it effects how AAS works??

Thanks

no acne for you but maybe not for others....i know antibiotics decrease the synthesis of protein i dont know if they affect the anabolics directly or your gains are hindered just from the decreased protein synthesis i suppose you just have to weigh it out and see if its worth it and if you do decide to take them i wouldnt stay on them for an extended period of time..i was on them for months and months and as soon as i stopped my weight shot up about 8 pounds i havent been on them since

You should be fine.

Cool.. I am on Drol right now and for about 8 more days (total 4 weeks) I will add the AB when I am done just in case it is too hard on my liver. I have a topical AB also which has helped some but I did not want to ruin a good cycle to get rid of the acne.

thanks all

is that a guarantee?! you do not know if anyone will be fine man...blood works tells that

I take Milk thistle and LIV52 and tons of water.. I know Nothing we do will be 100% but just don't want to overload my liver with this stuff. I get BW done every 6 months too so I will keep a close on eye it all.

Thanks

this is not so.. some AB's do inhibit protein synthesis but not in our cells.. they affect bacterial protein syntheresis, target their ribosomes.. I dont know if there is any cross reaction..

I used, "Tetracycline" and it didnt do anything. Getting Acutane at the end of the month.
