Hi! I was also using Oxytetracycline for over three months but my doctor discontinued them because I had no improvement. My acne were not “that” bad but I would burst real bad sometimes which would then take time to disappear. I was taking 250 mg at first, then he changed the dosage but to no avail and then he decided to stop.
I haven’t heard of any negative long-term effects but I do know that it could cause side effects like nausea or vomiting, abdominal cramps and itchiness but I haven’t heard of any organ damage.
I suppose your doctor knows what he’s doing. Have you seen any improvement since you have been using them?
