Tetracycline Information

Tetracycline is a Tetracycline antibiotic. This medicine inhibits the sensitive bacteria growth by blocking the production of proteins, which are required for its development. The inhibition in bacteria's growth lets the body's effectively destroy them.

Strictly follow your health care provider's instructions.

Take Tetracycline orally. Make sure you take this medicine on an empty stomach, and at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating. Drink a glass (8 oz/240 mL) of water with it. Do not lie down for a half of an hour after taking Tetracycline.

In case you are simultaneously treating with antacids, containing calcium, aluminium, or magnesium; medicines with bismuth, zinc, iron, or sodium bicarbonate; calcium rich foods (e.g., milk, calcium-enriched juices, dairy products), make sure you do not take them within 2 to 3 hours before or after taking Tetracycline.

In order to heal the infection entirely, you should complete the full course of the therapy. Do not discontinue the treatment even in case you notice improvement. If you do not complete the therapy, the bacteria may maintain and become resistant to the treatment.

Long-term or repeated use may lead to second infection. Inform your doctor if signs of a second infection occur. You may need medicine replacement.

Contact your doctor on any matters you are concerned about.
