Abide by the instructions given by your doctor and take each tablet with water. It is important that you do not take Oxytetracycline immediately before lying down or retiring for the night, as this will increase the chances of stomach-related side-effects. Acne treatment supplied by the The Independent Pharmacy Online Doctor usually consists of a three month course, with the advice that four tablets (amounting to 1000mg) should be taken per day. This is achieved by taking two 250mg Oxytetracycline tablets both morning and evening.
If you forget to take one of your daily doses, do not double up but simply continue with the next dose due. Bacteria lead to spots and lesions and Oxytetracycline works at reducing the inflammation.
