What is Tetralysal?
Tetralysal containing the active ingredient lymecycline is considered a tetracycline antibiotic type of medication. The medication works by interfering with the ability of bacteria to grow and reproduce to stop the spread of the infection and allow the immune system to kill the bacteria. It is often prescribed to treat pimples and spots causing acne. Some people may also use it to treat other bacterial infections such as chest infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections and mouth infections.
How is Tetralysal used?
Tetralysal is usually taken 1 to 2 times per day or as otherwise directed by a doctor. The capsules can be taken with or without food but should always be taken with a full glass of water. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage and length of treatment as it will depend on the patient’s condition and their response to the therapy. Always finish the prescribed dosage as abruptly stopping the treatment may cause the infection to return and the bacteria to become harder to treat.

Patients using Tetralysal may encounter unwanted side effects such as:
- Nausea
