DS (shortly 18) has been taking minocycline for a year for acne. His skin wasn't horrendous but it had a very bad effect on his self-esteem. He went to the dr today for a review and was told he had to have a blood test to make sure it wasn't affecting his liver.
I was horrified to hear that this was a possibility. I took antibiotics for about 8 years and nobody ever mentioned this (although several decades ago).
I don't want ds causing himself any long-term damage, but equally, I know the devastating effect acne can have on someone.
Does anyone know how safe minocycline is?
