How Lymecycline tablets can help with Acne

Many have often tried several forms of treatments depending on how severe their acne is, with creams and serums mostly used for lighter spots or blackheads. For more severe or deeper breakouts, antibiotic treatments such as Lymecycline tablets can offer a more effective solution.

Whilst acne is not necessarily an infection and occurs mostly when pores are blocked with oil or dead skin, it is also caused by the presence of bacteria in pores. This means that many people find themselves using acne treatments that tackle oil and dead skin, but do not eliminate acne-causing bacteria; which can be terribly frustrating.

Thankfully, Lymecycline tablets offer effective antibiotic properties that help relieve bacterial acne at the root of its cause.

What is lymecycline?

Lymecycline capsules are an antibiotic treatment, mainly used for acne and spots. They contain the tetracycline antibiotic, which works by preventing the growth of bacterial infections that can lead to acne. 

Not available for sale over the counter, you will have to get a prescription for Lymecycline. This is due to the medication’s strong antibiotic properties, which should be used only when necessary to prevent the body from developing antibiotic resistance.

What are lymecycline tablets used for?

Lymecycline tablets are most commonly used as a treatment for acne, but also offers treatment for other bacterial infections.

It is sometimes prescribed to treat bacteria-based bronchitis, pneumonia and some sexually transmitted infections. Its antibiotic properties can also be effective against tick-transmitted infections such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever. But most commonly, Lymecycline tablets are prescribed for the treatment of acne. 

How does Lymecycline help acne?

Can I combine topical treatments with Lymecycline tablets?
