Yes, your dermatologist may recommend that you take Tetralysal for 3 months to treat your acne. Tetralysal is an antibiotic from the tetracycline group that is effective against acne-causing bacteria such as Propionibacterium acnes. This drug is also anti-inflammatory, reducing the number of pustules, papules, cysts, and infiltrates in acne patients.
Usually, a course of antibiotics lasts from 2 to 4 months, depending on the individual patient's response. It is important to follow your dermatologist's advice and take your medication regularly throughout your treatment, even if your symptoms have disappeared sooner. Discontinuing the treatment before the time can lead to a recurrence of acne.
The GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to book the medicine at a selected stationary pharmacy and collect it after presenting a prescription:

If, despite everything, you are not sure about this situation, it is always a good idea to consult a doctor who can give you more personalized advice. If you do not have the opportunity to take advantage of the advice, I am attaching a link to the online teleconsultation:
