The other week, I was put on tetracycline by my derm... ok, nothing out of the ordinary...
So, the other eve I started reading the possible side effects... headaches (ok, got em!), loss of appetite (love this one!), watch out for sun exposure... (ok, well, I can do that)... and black hairy tongue (wha?!?)...
Yeah, I googled it-um GROSS! Let me tell you... IF I wind up with this, I will immediately STOP this med and keep the redness on my face... EW!
(ONLY click on this link if you REALLY want to see it... it is what it says it is... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hairy_tongue )
fortunately, I just seem to have cotton mouth at this stage... and the appetite thing!
Re: Black Hairy Tongue... (kinda gross)
I just learned about this in Pharmacology, and I about hurled. Icky.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeep!
I had to take tetracyclin once for something ( i cant remember for what) and I never got a black hairy tongue! THANK THE GODS!!!! Hopefully you dont either!
Sending you NO HAIRY TONGUE vibes! ~~~ lol
