The information provided in the summary table is for reference only. It is important to consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any acne treatment, including Lymecycline.
What is contained in Lymecycline?
The active ingredient in each tablet is lymecycline.
The inactive ingredients which make up the rest of each tablet include magnesium stearate, colloidal silica, titanium dioxide, erythrosine, gelatin, quinoline yellow and indigo carmine.
How effective is Lymecycline?
This particular antibiotic is mainly prescribed in the healing of acne due to its effectiveness at destroying the bacteria which causes it, and although it usually takes a few weeks to see the full benefits from your course of medication, many people do see improvements in their skin in as little as a week.
How does Lymecycline work?
Lymecycline stops the bacteria living on the skin, which is causing the acne inflammation from reproducing and increasing in numbers. One of the most common types of acne is associated with bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes which lives by feeding on the sebum produced in the skin’s sebaceous glands. The waste this bacteria produces as it feeds irritates the glands and inflames them, which results in the spots. By using lymecycline, you are able to decrease the numbers of the bacteria on the skin and bring the acne back under control.
Alternative treatments to Lymecycline
It would be best to use Lymecycline after trying typical skin treatments available in gels and creams, also known as topical treatments. Lymecycline should only be used when all other acne treatments do not work.
Not only this, but even when using Lymecycline, you should continue using topical peeling and anti-inflammatory products, such as topical treatments containing benzoyl peroxide. In addition to benzoyl peroxide, you can use Differin or Epiduo. These treatments work differently from other antibiotics. Note that combining your treatments results in a more effective outcome. It even reduces the development of antibiotic resistance.
Since Lymecycline is an oral antibiotic, it may be more effective than topical antibiotic acne treatments. However, if topical treatments are effective for you, you should not switch to oral antibiotics unless advised otherwise by your GP.
Similarly, other oral antibiotics used to treat acne are clarithromycin, erythromycin, as well as trimethoprim. You can also use the combined contraceptive pill as it can be an effective treatment for acne in women.
However, if acne is severe, persistent, scarring, or causing significant distress, then you should consider consulting a dermatologist. In such cases, Roaccutane (isotretinoin) may be prescribed.
Directions
How should I take Lymecycline?
Take one tablet once a day at the same time with a glass of water. If you forget to take a dose, then either skip it if you are close to your next dose or take it as soon as you remember it. Do not take two tablets at once.
So as to avoid reducing the absorption of your medication, do not take any products containing calcium, iron, aluminium, magnesium or zinc within two hours before or after your dose of Lymecycline.
How long can I take Lymecycline for?
You do not want to be taking antibiotics for too long, but they can play an important role in the clearing up of your acne. As such, it would be prescribed for the shortest time possible though it is likely the full effects of your medication would be seen by 6 weeks onwards.
Generally, patients are given an 8 to 12-week prescription, but this is a decision made on a case-by-case basis, and you will discuss this with a doctor after you have completed the online assessment form.
