This adverse reaction is more common during long-term use of the drug, but it has been observed following repeated short-term courses. Use of minocycline is generally avoided in children under age eight for that reason. In some situations, the benefits of using minocycline may outweight the risk of cosmetic changes in the teeth. The risk is probably less when the doses are low, and it does not appear that all children develop tooth staining. Enamel hypoplasia (poor development) has also been reported.(({{pubmed> | This adverse reaction is more common during long-term use of the drug, but it has been observed following repeated short-term courses.
