Tetracycline
Uses
Tetracycline is a "broad-spectrum" antibiotic used to treat
bacterial infections such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, typhus fever,
and tick fevers. Tetracycline is also used to treat upper respiratory
infections, pneumonia, gonorrhea, amoebic infections, and urinary tract
infections. Tetracycline is often used as an alternative drug for people
who are allergic to penicillin.
How to take this medication
Follow the directions for using Tetracycline provided by your doctor.
TAKE Tetracycline with a full glass (8 oz./240 ml) of water. DO NOT LIE
DOWN for 30 minutes after taking Tetracycline. Unless directed otherwise
by your doctor, take Tetracycline 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals.
Take Tetracycline 2-3 hours before or after taking any products containing
magnesium, aluminum, or calcium. Some examples include quinapril, didanosine,
vitamins/minerals, antacids, dairy products (e.g., milk or yogurt), calcium-enriched
juice, sucralfate, bismuth subsalicylate, iron, and zinc. These products
bind with Tetracycline preventing its full absorption. STORE Tetracycline
at room temperature, away from heat and light. TO CLEAR UP YOUR INFECTION
COMPLETELY, continue taking Tetracycline for the full course of treatment
even if you feel better in a few days. Do not miss any doses.
Side Effects
More common side effects of tetracycline may include: Anemia, blood disorders,
blurred vision and headache (in adults), bulging soft spot on the head
(in infants), diarrhea, difficult or painful swallowing, dizziness, extreme
allergic reactions, genital or anal sores or rash, hives, inflammation
of large bowel, inflammation of the tongue, inflammation of the upper
digestive tract, increased sensitivity to light, loss of appetite, nausea,
rash, ringing in the ears, swelling due to fluid accumulation, vision
disturbance, and vomiting. Less common or rare side effects may include:
Inflamed skin, inflammation of the penis, liver poisoning, muscle weakness,
peeling, skin eruptions, and throat sores and inflammation
Precautions
Do not take tetracycline if you are sensitive to or have ever had an allergic
reaction to any tetracycline medication. If you have kidney disease, make
sure the doctor knows about it, as a lower than usual dose of tetracycline
may be needed. Tetracycline drugs can make you more prone to sunburn when
you are in sunlight or ultraviolet light. Take appropriate precautions.
As with other antibiotics, use of this medication may cause other infections
to develop. Contact your doctor if this occurs. Tetracycline is not recommended
for use during pregnancy, as it can affect the development of the unborn
child's bones and teeth. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant,
inform your doctor immediately. Tetracycline appears in breast milk and
may affect a nursing infant.
Missed Dose
IF YOU MISS A DOSE OF Tetracycline, take it as soon as possible. If it
is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to
your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
