Lymecycline (Generic)

Buy Lymecycline (Generic) Online

Lymecycline capsules treat acne by killing the bacteria that cause acne on the skin's surface. These bacteria feed on sebum produced by the sebaceous glands; however, their waste products irritate the glands, leading to infection and inflammation of the skin.

If you suffer from acne, but other acne treatments, including topical treatments, haven't worked, book an online consultation at Pharmacy Online and speak with one of our UK-registered doctors about taking lymecycline capsules.

When to Use Lymecycline?

Lymecycline is often used to treat inflammatory acne that doesn't respond to traditional topical treatments.

It reduces the bacteria that cause acne, and your GP or a registered pharmacist will usually prescribe it along with another topical treatment.

However, Lymecycline may also be used to treat other infections, including:

• Sexually transmitted infections
• Chest and sinus infections
• Infections around or in the mouth

Lymecycline Age Restrictions

Lymecycline is suitable for adults and children aged 12 years or older. It's not usually prescribed for younger children because they rarely suffer from severe acne. A GP will usually opt for different antibiotics when treating children with bacterial infections.

How to Use Lymecycline Generic Capsules?

Please follow these instructions when using Lymecycline capsules for acne:

• In most cases, you'll take 408mg once daily, with most pharmacists and GPs advising that you take it in the morning.
• Avoid chewing or breaking the capsule; swallow it whole with water. Please avoid lying down for at least half an hour after taking Lymecycline to prevent damage to your oesophagus.
• Even if your acne begins to improve, you should still complete the full course of treatment, which is usually for 12 weeks. However, in cases of severe acne, your GP might prescribe it for a longer period.

When to Avoid Taking Lymecycline Acne Treatment?

As a tetracycline antibiotic, you may need to avoid Lymecycline in some cases. These include:

• Allergies: If you're allergic or sensitive to Lymecycline or tetracyclines, you should avoid using it.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Lymecycline can damage your baby during pregnancy. You should also avoid it while breastfeeding, as tetracyclines can cause discolouration to developing teeth.
• Retinoids: If you're taking retinoid medications like isotretinoin, you should avoid Lymecycline as it can increase the risks of intracranial hypertension.

Lymecycline Precautions

If any of the following apply, you should take precautions and seek medical advice before using Lymecycline:

• Kidney & Liver Problems: Lylecycline can both impact your kidney and liver - especially if you have a pre-existing condition.
• Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: As an inflammatory autoimmune disorder, lupus can worsen when Lymecycline is used.
• Medications: If you're taking antacids or mineral supplements, please ensure you use them at least two hours before or after taking Lymecycline, as it can affect how much of the antibiotic you absorb.
• UV Exposure: Lymecycline can cause photosensitivity, making your skin more sensitive to UV light. Always wear high SPF when out in the sunshine.
• Oral Contraception: While there's little evidence to confirm that Lymecycline compromises your oral contraceptives, it's advisable to use extra precautions.
