Re: Vascular flushing and antibiotics

[Guest guest]

You can stay on minocycline indefinately, especially if it helps your

flushing. By the way, what dose are you taking and are you taking a

brand or generic?

Thats not true Thats what my Dermatologist said and long-term Minocycline

messed me up big time. Antibiotics have their place, but no WAY should

someone be told its ok to stay on them indefinately. Chronic/systemic yeast

infections, impaired digestive system, (which can only Partially be

prevented with probiotics), increased sun sensitivity (which CAN happen with

Minocycline too.. it happened to me), increasingly resistant bacteria, and

impaired immune function are just some of the things to look forward to with

long-term antibiotic use (particularly the tetracycline family).
