Side effects of 500mg 2 times per day tetracycline for acne treatment

My 19 yr. old son with Down Syndrome was recently given a prescription for Tetracycline tablets. The dosage is 500mg twice a day. I have looked up the side effects and found them disturbing. I would like to know if there is another treatment with less side effects (indigestion,severe GI irritation, rashes, severe headaches,hives etc.) Please advise me. I want to help him cure his acne but don't want to deal with such possible side effects.

Many Thanks,

Lori Deslarzes
