Triple antibiotic paste: discolouration and removal

Hello, Doctor. A paediatric dentist friend mentioned a so-called 3-antibiotic paste. They crush the usual antibiotic tablets and make a paste with physiological saline. I had not heard of this before. What do you think about it?

Translated version of the Turkish original

I do not prefer it. If it contains minocycline, it stains the tooth. It is also difficult to remove from the canal.
