A member asked:
Does tetracycline or lymecycline antibiotic stunt height or growth in any way when taken at the age of 15?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. It has a mild effect on tooth formation/staining during the rapid growth years up to age 8, but its influence on linear bone growth is negligible at 15.
