Sarecycline is an antibiotic used to treat acne.[1] Specifically it is used for moderate to severe acne of the non-nodular type.[1] It is taken by mouth.[1]

Common side effects include nausea.[1] Other side effects may include sunburns, dizziness, Clostridium difficile infections.[1] Use during pregnancy may harm the baby.[1] It is in the tetracycline class.[1]

Sarecycline was approved for medical use in the United States in 2018.[2] In the United States it costs about 750 USD per month as of 2021.[3] It is not available in Europe or the United Kingdom as of 2021.[4]

Medical uses

Scalp folliculitis due to methicillin-sensitive S. aureus improved with sarecycline

The spectrum of activity is limited to Gram-positive bacteria, mainly Cutibacterium acnes, with little or no activity against Gram-negative bacterial microflora commonly found in the human gastrointestinal tract.[5] Sarecycline has not been tested in spirochetes.

Dosage

It is taken at a dose of 60 to 150 mg once per day depending on a person's weight.[1]

Chemistry

Unlike other tetracycline-class antibiotics, sarecycline has a long C7 moiety that extends into and directly interact with the bacterial messenger RNA (mRNA).[6]
