What Is The Reason For Headache After Taking Tetracycline For Acne?
Hi, my name is Ray and I ve been taking tetracycline for my acne for the past three days. I ve noticed that shortly after taking the medication I get a dull headache that persists for an hour or two. Should I stop taking the medication and talk to my doctor or is this normal?

Dear
headache is one of side effects is antibiotics (not especially tetracycline)
I would not reccomend to stop it but you can discuss with your doctor the possibility of taking anti inflammatory during first days of treatment
Avoid staying in the sunlight during treatment
