Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Lymecycline interacts with retinoids.
Alpha-carotene, beta-carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin are provitamin A carotenoids
Provitamin A carotenoids can be turned into vitamin A (retinol) in the intestine or liver.
You can take supplement after the antibiotics treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
