Tetralysal is a tetracycline antibiotic medicine recommended for the treatment of acne, also referred to as pimples or spots. Acne appears on the skin as whiteheads or blackheads due to the growth of the bacteria Propionibacterium Acnes on your skin. Tetralysal has the active ingredient lymecycline which has anti-bacterial properties and helps in clearing up the infection.

Tetralysal is a prescription medication used to treat many different types of bacterial infections in the human body. The primary use of Tetralysal is to treat acne. Acne refers to whiteheads or blackheads on your skin, also known as pimples or spots. Usually, your doctor will recommend Tetralysal for your acne if over-the-counter medication is ineffective.

Tetralysal or Tetralysal 300 are capsules with the active ingredient antibiotic Lymecycline. This medication belongs to the category of medicines known as tetracycline antibiotics. Lymecycline stops the acne-causing bacteria from growing on your skin by prohibiting the bacteria from producing the protein they need to multiply. This eliminates the acne-causing bacteria on your skin, reduces the inflammation in your sebaceous glands, and clears up the acne.

Tetralysal is a highly-effective remedy against severe acne. The benefits of using Tetralysal 300 are:

1. Tetralysal is a strong antibiotic that is prescribed in cases where over-the-counter treatments of acne have proven ineffective.
2. Tetralysal is an oral medication that is easy to take and convenient.
3. Tetralysal eliminated the acne-causing bacteria from your skin, thus removing the root cause of acne and providing long-lasting acne relief.
4. The medication restores the natural smoothness of your skin, leaving it in good health.
5. Getting rid of acne is bound to restore your confidence and make you feel great about your skin.

Take Tetralysal as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage will vary according to the severity of the acne you have. Doctors usually prescribe one capsule of Tetralysal 300 per day for the treatment of acne. One capsule of Tetralysal 300 contains Lymecycline 408mg.

If you have been prescribed Tetralysal for the treatment of some other bacterial infection, the dosage may be different.
