CBC while on Tetracycline?

[Guest guest]

I was wondering-to the medical professionals out there-how 250 mg of

Tetracycline bid (was qid but has been lowered) will affect a CBC and other

routine labs.

I am on Methotrexate and take labs once a month to monitor things. I told the

nurse today that I'm on antibiotics and wondered if that would affect the

labs, and she said that it did-that there were some out of the normal range

but not much. But MY question is this-how do we know if it would have been

even MORE out of the normal range if I wasn't on the antibiotic for the

rosacea? Is there an infection or a suppressed immune system that should be

checked out further?

How do you manage your rosacea patients who take antibiotics who also have

other health problems and take other meds? What should be carefully monitored?

Thanks!
