It is a tetracycline, like I imagine Tetralysal is also. At 50mg a day I would expect it to take up to 6 weeks to see a benefit. The advantage of such a small dose is that it won't likely give some of the other side effects of higher doses. davidp. Hi Ludi,

I immigrated from South Africa to Australia In SAfrica i uses Tetralysal which was very effective for the condition. In Austalia the docters prescribed doxycyline 50 mg a day. It doesn't work at all. I need to fly back to SAfrica every year to get the medicine there. I am desperate to find a less costly solution in Australia as doxycycline seems ineffective. I am a rosacea sufferer.
