Tetralysal 300 (Lymecycline) Capsules FAQs
How does Tetralysal work?
Lymecycline stops bacteria from growing and increasing their numbers. Your doctor may take a tissue sample to make sure that the infection is caused by bacteria.
This medication is mainly used for the treatment of acne because it is active against the bacteria that is commonly associated with acne, Propionibacterium acnes, a common type of bacteria that feeds on sebum that is produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. The bacteria produce products and fatty acids that irritate the sebaceous glands, causing them to get inflamed and cause spots. Lymecycline controls the numbers of bacteria, which bring the inflammation of the sebaceous glands under control and thus allow the healing of the skin.
What are the benefits of taking Tetralysal?
The main benefit of taking Lymecycline is putting acne under control. This is accomplished by controlling the number of bacteria that produce products and fatty acids that irritate the sebaceous glands.
How do I use Tetralysal?
Lymecycline comes in capsule forms. Doctors usually recommend taking one capsule of this medicine once daily, usually in the morning. Each capsule contains 408 mg of lymecycline.
When you are taking lymecycline for other infections, follow the instructions of your doctor or your pharmacist.
Swallow the capsule whole with a medium-sized glass of water. This medicine may be taken with or without food but you will have less risk of feeling sick if you take this medication with food.
Continue taking this medicine until you complete the course of treatment, even if you start to feel better. Stopping treatment early may result in the problem coming back.
In case you forget to take your medicine, take it as soon as you remember, but do not take it anymore when it is nearly time for the next dose. Do not double the dose of lymecycline as a makeup for the missed dose.
It will help you to remember to take your medicine if you will take them at about the same time each day.
