A member asked:
Could a rash be a withdrawal symptom after being on tetracylene for 3 months?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: There is no known withdrawal syndrome associated with tetracycline. You may have had a rash that the tetracycline was suppressing, however, such as rosacea or acne.

Very unlikely: Tetracycline (TCN) is an antibiotic, and is not known to have withdrawal symptoms. A rash just after using TCN for 3 months is unlikely to be a withdrawal symptom. However, the rash could be due to an allergy to TCN, even though TCN was stopped. Persons allergic to TCN may also be allergic to Doxycycline & minocycline. Also, the rash might be just a coincidence and have nothing to do with TCN.
