Rumor vs Truth

Tackling Tetracyclines


Listen Later

In this episode, hosts Don Weinberger and Steve Small separate fact from fiction when it comes to claims about tetracyclines. 

Will doxycycline stain children’s teeth? 

Is expired tetracycline truly deadly? 

What do cats have to do with all this? 

Let’s cycle through the facts! 

They’ll share research and insights into some interesting claims including:

  • Doxycycline should never be used in young kids due to teeth concerns.
  • Doxycycline monohydrate is better than the hyclate version.
  • Minocycline can permanently pigment skin.
  • Expired tetracyclines are toxic.
  • Tetracyclines shouldn’t be used in pregnancy.
  • Tetracyclines shouldn’t be combined with milk.
