Lymecycline and Concurrent Ingestion of Milk

Abstract

It has been suggested in the past that milk causes an impaired absorption of tetracycline and this paper describes a study set up to examine any inhibition of absorption of a tetracycline derivative, lymecycline (Tetralysal) with the concurrent intake of milk. The results of the study show no clinical reason for restricting a moderate intake of milk in conjunction with lymecycline therapy.
