In Support of Oxytetracycline

[Guest guest]

I'm a new member and have been reading the various on-going

discussions here. I appear to be rather unusual in that I'm VERY

happy with taking Oxytetracycline to control my rosacea - I've been

taking it for literally years and have had no ill effects

whatsoever. I take it in three month courses starting on 4 tablets

daily, then reducing to 3 tablets daily after control is gained, then

2 a day, then 1 a day then STOP. I can usually go for about 2 weeks

before I need to re-start. I take daily Vitamin C supplements (which

antibiotics deplete) and use the breaks between courses to take some

lactobacillus - restores benefitial bacteria to the gut. I use a

total facial sunblock Spring through to Autumn, and a good

moisturiser every night. I think the key has been to build in

breaks. Oxytets have allowed me forget my face and get on with life!
