Taking lymecycline with other medicines and herbal supplements

Cautions with other medicines

There are some medicines that can affect how lymecycline works.

Tell your doctor if you're taking any of these medicines before starting lymecycline:

• indigestion remedies (antacids)
• medicines which contain aluminium, bismuth, calcium, iron, kaolin, magnesium or zinc
• other antibiotics
• quinapril, a medicine for high blood pressure or heart failure
• acne medicines containing vitamin A, such as isotretinoin
• warfarin, a medicine that helps prevent your blood from clotting
• tablets that make you pee more (diuretics), such as furosemide
• medicines for epilepsy like phenytoin or carbamazepine

Mixing lymecycline with herbal remedies and supplements

There's very little information about taking herbal remedies and supplements with lymecycline. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.

Tell your doctor if you're taking:

• any supplements that contain aluminium, bismuth, calcium, magnesium or zinc
• iron supplements
