A member asked:
I am experiencing extreme fatigue since i have started tetracycline antibiotics for acne 5 weeks ago. can it cause anaemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not, but...: Tetracycline and related drugs (doxycycline, minocycline) are unlikely to cause either anemia or fatigue. However, stranger things have happened. Discuss with the doctor who prescribed it. Good luck!
