Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Tetralysal is highly effective in treatment of facial acne, prescribed for varying period of time usually 6 to 8 weeks of duration.

Recurrence is possible with any sort of acne treatment to varying levels. That medicine is not known to give weight gain as a side effect except certain GI upset and visual disturbances on long-term.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
