HI,
Thanks for asking. I understand your concern.
Treatment of Rosacea is mostly local ointments . Added antibiotics if not responding to ointments. & in some severe cystic form of Rosacea needs drug like Isotretinoin.
You had been given Minoz for the treatment which is a tertracyclin derivative & is not known to have any untoward effect on pregnancy/ fetus. So rest relaxed.
Isotrenatoin is known to have bad effects on pregnancy & the fetus also... but you have not used it( as per the information given ) so nothing to worry about.
thanks.
