Hi,

Tetralysal is a tetracycline derivative antibiotic. Its effect remains in blood for 24-32 hours from the time of taking the last pill. You had finished the course 2 days before unprotected sex and even if you conceive at the time, there would be hardly any traces of antibiotic in your body. If the medicine is taken during pregnancy the colour of babies teeth may get affected so avoid taking it during pregnancy.

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

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
