Tetralysal Lymecycline

What is Tetralysal?

Tetralysal is an antibiotic capsule that’s usually prescribed to treat acne, but it can also help with other types of skin infection.

The recommended dose is usually one pill every day (in the morning), and you’ll likely take it for up to eight weeks. It’s important to take your full course of Tetralysal, even if your symptoms clear up. This is to stop the bacteria from becoming resistant to the treatment and coming back.

How does Tetralysal work?

Acne is usually caused by one of two things. Hormonal changes or large groups of bacteria clogging up your pores. Tetralysal works by targeting acne-causing bacteria that live on your skin.

Our skin glands produce a chemical known as sebum. Sebum helps to keep our hair and skin nice and healthy. Unfortunately, bacteria love sebum. When our sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, bacteria starts to feed on it. The clogging-up of our pours by bacteria is what causes spots, redness, swelling and other symptoms of acne.

The main ingredient in Tetralysal is lymecycline. Lymecycline is an antibiotic that targets bacteria and stops it from producing the proteins that it needs to survive. Once lymecycline has starved the bacteria of its much-needed proteins it’s then weakened and killed by your body's immune system.

What doses of Tetralysal are there?

There’s only one dose of Tetralysal, which is a 300mg capsule. The usual recommended treatment for acne is one of these pills a day, in the morning, for up to eight weeks.

How to take Tetralysal

You should always follow the instructions of your clinician when taking Tetralysal, as well as paying attention to the leaflet that comes with your treatment.

  • Take as advised by your prescriber.
  • For acne, this will likely be one tablet per day.
  • It’s recommended that you take it in the morning.
  • How long you take this treatment for will depend on the severity of your symptoms. For regular cases, this might be around 8 weeks.
  • Swallow tablets whole with a glass of water.
  • Don’t take more than the prescribed amount.
  • If you forget to take it, do so when you remember and carry on the treatment as normal. However, if it is time for your next dose, skip the one you have missed, and take your next dose at the scheduled time.

How long does it take Tetralysal to work?

Like with all antibiotics for acne, it can often take up to several weeks before you notice any difference. The length of time that it takes to treat acne can vary from person to person, and will depend on the severity of your acne as well as your own personal response to the treatment. If you don’t see any benefits from the treatment after eight weeks then have a chat with our clinician. They’ll help you look for alternatives that might work better for you.

What should I do if I make a mistake when taking Tetralysal?

Fortunately, overdoses on antibiotics are very rare. That being said, it’s important that you do not take more than your daily prescribed amount. If you do miss a dose just be sure to take it as soon as you can. It’s recommended that you take your capsule in the morning, but so long as one tablet is taken per day it should still be safe and effective.

FAQ: Tetralysal

Have something specific you want to know? Search our info below, or ask our experts a question if you can’t find what you’re looking for.

How is Tetralysal different from other treatments for acne?

Answer:
The main difference is that Tetralysal is an antibiotic capsule. Not all forms of acne treatment are antibiotics and not all of them come in a capsule. Some people might also dislike using creams, especially if they have other skin conditions like eczema.

Is Tetralysal similar to any other treatments?

Answer:
Tetralysal is a branded version of the generic Lymecycline. Both treatments contain the same active ingredient and work in exactly the same way. Tetralysal is just made by a different lab and is branded differently. Because it’s a branded treatment, Tetralysal is usually a little more expensive.

Do I need a prescription for Tetralysal?

Answer:
Since Tetralysal is an antibiotic it does require a prescription. All antibiotics require prescriptions and Tetralysal is no different. This is so a clinician can make sure it’s a safe and suitable treatment for you, and to make sure you know how to take it and how long for.

Why should I buy Tetralysal online with Treated?

Answer:
With so many acne treatments out there it can be hard to know which one could be best for you. When you talk to us about your health, our experts will offer you tailored recommendations. All you need to do is pick the one that suits you best.

And once you’ve started your treatment we’ll keep in touch to check that it’s working as you’d hoped. If you have any questions or concerns during your treatment then just log into your account and send us a message. We’re always on hand to help.
