Description

What Is Tetralysal?

Tetralysal is an antibiotic drug for treating moderate to severe acne. It works by killing off the bacteria that cause disease and inflammation. The drug is a prescription remedy often used when over-the-counter treatments have proved ineffective. Galderma Company manufactures Tetralysal capsules. The antibiotic cures scarring pimples from acne within 8- 12 weeks. People with acne breakouts on other parts of the body aside from the face can use Tetralysal, as it is ingested orally to help treat the symptoms.

How Does Tetralysal Work?

The redness and painful breakouts occur when bacteria feed on sebum produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. This causes a build-up of waste products and fatty acids that irritate the sebaceous glands causing inflammation and spots to develop. Tetralysal works to inhibit the bacteria associated with causing acne. It contains the active ingredient Lymecycline. It interferes with this bacteria's ability to produce proteins that are essential for their reproduction. This action stops the spread of the infection, reducing the inflammation of the sebaceous glands and allowing the skin to heal. Any remaining bacteria are killed by the immune system or eventually die.
