Q: Tetracycline Side Effects

asked by: the one on July 23rd, 2004

Experienced User

I've been put on oral tetracycline acne medication and my derm asked me if I was planning a pregnancy anytime soon. Does anyone know what it would do to the baby, if I had one? Or any other side effects?

Taking any antibiotic or medication while you're pregnant increases the risk of some sort of damage to the baby.
