I've been on Tetralysal for 3 months now, the first two months my doc gave me a double dosage so I had to take 2 pills a day for 56 days. Nothing changed, literally, nothing. My lips are dry as hell, they always are pretty dry but the corners of my mouth have ripped and the skin is shedding of my lips because they are so dry so I just apply a lot of hydrating lip balm. For my skin, nothing has changed.. At first the 'rashy' acne on my forehead disappeared for a while but now that I'm on a normal dosage, it's back. I don't like the fact that I take antibiotics every day and the fact that they do nothing makes it even worse.

UGH.
I took two or three courses of this antibiotic (prescribed by my dermatologist) last year, because one just didn't seem to be enough. My skin did improve, but I started breaking out again pretty much straight after coming off of it.

Pros:

No major side effects
Would probably help for mild acne or occasional breakouts

Cons:

Not useful for anything more than mild to mildly-moderate acne
Sometimes get a bad after taste coming up the throat

I have been on this drug a few times. I had severe acne but in the UK you have to try antibiotics before going on accutane. It had very little effect and over time had no effect at all. After my first round of accutane my acne returned a few years later and I had to go back on this drug. My acne was not as severe this time and it did slightly help but after time this drug losses all effectiveness, and was put on a second round of accutane. A couple of years later and I am back on this drug. Same issues as last time. In my opinion this drug is not meant for people with moderate to severe acne as it has little to no effect, however I recommended it as I can imagine it is useful for people with mild acne or people who suffer the occasional breakout. It also has very little side effects so you may as well try it.

Pros:

Cleared some of my acne so it wasn't so severe
No side effects at all

Cons:

only saw a very small difference
after time its effectivness decreased untill it didn't work at all

Worth trying, as there were no bad side effects so you may aswell try, but the improvement is only small

Pros:

Did reduce acne slighty (A LITTLE)
Acne not as red

Cons:

Did not get rid of most acne, I was patient and not expecting all of it to magically disapeer but it didn't reduce it by a lot
Side effects affected school life: constantley felt dizzy and as if I wasn't awake and in a dream

It didn't reduce my acne that much although it helped a little with the redness. I think it depends on the person really, and I was very patient and religously took it every morning at the same time. I don't think it was the antibiotic for me and tomorrow I'm about to start Dianette which is also a contraception drug.
