Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 In most people the tetracycline group of antibiotics cause a sunburn. I heard that the sunburn can be very severe. It did not happen to me with Minocin and I used a tanning bed. I did get sunburned bad when I used tetracycline tho. I think your best bet would be to stay out of direct sun and use a sunscreen if you have to be in it. Have a nice summer. Cooky Can anyone please explain to me the problems with exposure to sun, and the use of minocycline. I have SD and am on minocycline 100 mg. 2 X daily. I have been told that I cannot go out in the sun because of the minocycline. Can anyone elaborate for me. My doctor hadn't said a word to me, but that may have been because it was the dead of winter when he put me on it - LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
