Lymefine Capsule is a tetracycline antibiotic used to treat acne. Acne is a skin condition that occurs when pores of the skin become plugged with oil and dead skin cells or bacteria. It causes blackheads, whiteheads, or pimples. A bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can target any body part and multiple very quickly.

Lymefine Capsule contains lymecycline (antibiotic) primarily used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It is a derivative of the tetracycline class of antibiotics that inhibits the protein synthesis process required for bacterial growth. As a result, bacterial cells are not able to reproduce and grow. It is a bacteriostatic antibiotic, i.e. it stops bacteria's growth but does not necessarily kill them.

Complete the course of medicine even if you feel better, and leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic as well (antibiotic resistance).
