I plan on taking a antibiotic for minor acne. I will be taking a probiotic daily.

Other than that is anyone aware of any sides which may effect strength/muscle mass? Thanks

I was on keflex last year and didn`t experience any weird sides. Just an infection that went away and peace of mind knowing my arm wasen`t going to be amputated.

They affect protein synthesis negatively, they also are known to cause diarreah, also the good bacteria die along with the bad......I see you are taking probiotics...
I wouldnt take it for minor acne...If its tetracycline, it can cause yellowing of the teeth...tetracycline is the best antibiotic for treating minor acne...

OK thanks ironwill. I'm not really interested in anything that affects protein synthesis negatively. lol The acne is very minor so I'll just hit the tanning bed instead. lol I find that works just as well for me.
