Tetracycline
Drug Uses
Use Tetracycline to treat or prevent infections that
are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible
bacteria.
How Taken
The usual daily dose is 1g to 2g. Your doctor may increase
the dosage in case of severe infections. You should
continue therapy for at least 24 to 48 hours after the
symptoms and fever have subsided. Warnings/Precautions
Talk to your physician before taking this medicine if
you are hypersensitive to tetracyclines. Using Tetracycline
in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial
infection or a prophylactic indication is unlikely to
provide benefit and increases the risk of the development
of drug-resistant bacteria. Missed Dose
If you skip doses or do not complete the full course
of therapy, you may risk a decrease in the effectiveness
of the immediate treatment. Also there is a chance that
bacteria will develop resistance and will not be treatable
by Tetracycline or other antibacterial drugs in the
future. Possible Side Effects
Side effects you may experience may include: anorexia,
epigastric distress, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bulky
loose stools, stomatitis, sore throat, glossitis, black
hairy tongue, dysphagia, hoarseness, enterocolitis,
and inflammatory lesions (with candidal overgrowth)
in the anogenital region. Storage
Store the tablets at room temperature; avoid excessive
heat. Dispense in tight, light-resistant containers.
Keep out of the reach of children. Overdose
In case of overdosage, seek emergency medical attention.
More Information
If you are undergoing long-term therapy, periodic laboratory
evaluation of organ system function, including renal,
hepatic, and hematopoietic systems, should be performed.
