Hi,
Yes, it is not safe during pregnancy. Tetralysal is a tetracycline antibiotic commonly prescribed to treat acne. If used during pregnancy it can cause harmful effects in the growing baby hence it should be avoided as soon as you missed your period.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
