Oxytetracycline

Available in a hard capsule form that can be used to effectively treat a number of conditions, this medicine is primarily used to significantly ease acne (acne vulgaris) and rosacea (chronic inflammatory disorder) outbreaks to leave clearer looking skin. Under the category of tetracycline antibiotic, or an antibacterial medication, Oxytetracycline has been proven to help decrease the inflammation caused by acne, and lessen the amount of breakouts.

This acne treatment contains the active ingredient oxytetracycline dihydrate. This ingredient targets bacteria known as propionibacterium acnes, which is associated with acne infections.

Oxytetracycline dihydrate works by limiting this bacteria's ability to multiply. When the infection is immobilised in this way, the immune system is able to fight off the remaining bacteria. This effectively treats the infection, reducing the inflammation of the sebaceous glands so the skin can heal resulting in less breakouts and clearer skin.

In addition to its ability to successfully treat acne, this medication also has the benefit of being very easy to take, as it comes in the form of tablets. Rather than having to apply a cream or gel directly to the acne, sometimes more than once per day, you only need to swallow two Oxytetracycline tablets twice daily.

It is also clinically effective meaning that the majority of patients notice a considerable difference to their skin, rather than over-the-counter methods that can sometimes just mask the issue.

Another advantage is this medication is suitable for both men and women and has a lower risk of side effects in comparison to other acne treatments like roaccutane.

All HealthExpress medication comes complete with a patient leaflet that should be read before use. This will include how to take Oxytetracycline tablets, however it is really simple.

For acne treatment, this medicine is usually taken as follows:

• One 250mg tablet should be taken twice daily
• The tablets should be swallowed whole, preferably with a glass of water, either one hour prior to a meal or two hours afterwards

• It is recommended that you do not take the tablets with milk or food of any kind, as doing so is believed to make the medication less effective
