Does tetracycline have analgesic properties?

TETRACYCLINE is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections; and in many cases, the doctor may prescribe Tetracycline for people with problem acne. Tetracycline does NOT have any analgesic (pain killer) properties. An important thing to remember about antibiotics is to finish the ENTIRE prescription, even if you feel better. Ideally, no one should have leftover antibiotics in their medicine cabinet. If you have "some leftover", flush them. Intermitent taking of antibiotics is VERY damaging to your immune system over time.
