oxytetracycline ,as a sort of 2 prong d attack agaisnt rosacia,,,thanks vvery muchRosacea question,any doctors online,thanks?
Not a bad idea to use both oral and topical preparations but not many doctors would chose old fashioned tetracycline. Lymecycline or minocycline would both be better.Rosacea question,any doctors online,thanks?
Like many people, I personally have used tetracycline antibiotics for skin complains. However, so much of the time the risks outweigh the benefits for some patients and patients are not advised of this beforehand. Oxytetracycline is the worst of all the tetracycline's. The better two are Minnocycline and Lemecycline, the latter is the preferred option.
The problem with using antibiotics for the managements of skin complains is that often a long course of antibiotics- up to three months is required for optimal treatment. This maximises the risks of side effects.
While tetracycline has proven to be effective as an acne and other skin treatment, there is some cause for concern related to possible side effects of the drug. In a study released in 2006, results indicated that tetracycline as well as other tetracycline derivatives may well be responsible for adverse drug reactions.
A study published by a hospital in France in 2006 indicates that adverse affects of cyclines might be serious and sometimes unknown. The report further suggested that 鈥榣ong term treatment by tetracycline's must be researched in patients presenting such symptoms.鈥?Symptoms related to adverse side effects in nearly 250 cases included autoimmune disorders and hypersensitivity.
With that said, using topical preparations in conjunction with oral antibiotics is a good management, but antibiotics should be a last resort option.
