Brief Answer:
You need not wait any further. You can try to conceive.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Tetralysal contains a drug called lymecycline which is not suitable to be taken during pregnancy. But if you had taken it a month ago, the chances are that the medicine has completely been elimitated from your body by now and you can proceed to try to conceive without needing to wait any further.

Hope that helped.
