FDA Approves Sarecycline for Moderate to Severe Acne

Sarecycline (Seysara, Almirall), a new tetracycline-derived oral antibiotic and the first such drug in 40 years designed for dermatologic use, received FDA approval.

The tablet should be taken once a day with or without food, but with fluid to reduce esophageal irritation and ulceration.
