Does hair loss caused by intake of tetracycline grow back? Is tetracycline scarring?

zilan
I was taking tetracycline for a month. One month after I stopped taking it, my hair has started to severely fall out. It has been one month since it started and it has not stopped but has been reduced a little. I am scared. Does my hair grow back? Is tetracycline scarring or non scarring? I read somewhere that monocycline is non scarring but what about tetracycline?
