Hi & Welcome.
Incomplete data like age, gender, purpose of taking Tetralysal??
You are eligible to donate if you do not have an acute infection or if you have a temperature above 99.5 F.
Tetralysal (Lymecycline) is an antibiotic which belongs Tetracyclines. You can donate blood if you are taking this antibiotic to prevent an infection, for example, following dental procedures or for acne. However, some conditions which require antibiotics to prevent an infection must still be evaluated at the time of donation by the responsible doctor at the blood bank.
Hope this answers your query.
