About Lymecycline

Lymecycline is an antibiotic treatment used to help treat acne. Available from trusted based Oxford Online Pharmacy, you will receive a free online GP consultation with a UK based Doctor.

Lymecycline acts by targeting bacteria that causes inflammation associated with acne, this allows old lesions to heal and prevents new blemishes from forming. Lymecycline is part of the tetracyline antibiotic group and is prescribed to effectively prevent bacteria from spreading. By attacking a bacteria known as propionibacterium acnes, it prevents the bacteria’s ability to produce proteins which are essential to their survival. As a result, the bacteria also lose the ability to grow and reproduce. This allows your immune system the opportunity to fend off the existing bacteria.

When will I see the benefits of Lymecycline?

You should begin to see signs of improvement after a week, however it can take a few weeks for skin to clear. Results vary depending on the severity of your acne.
