    Hi ladies,

    Does/Has anyone take lymecycline tetrasyl antibiotics for acne/skin problems. Did you continue to take the meds up till surgery. I have told my consultant and he didn’t say to stop taking them but I have seen a few places people say you must stop taking antibiotics 4 weeks prior to surgery?? My date is booked for 28th March so confused??
    Thanks xx

    Hey Hun.

    I take these tablets for my skin and my nurse hasn’t told me to stop taking them either, if you are unsure I would ask him again Just to be certain but I am sure it’s fine
