Tetracycline is used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria. It is an antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Tetracycline is effective in treating many different bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections (UTIs), skin infections (eg, burning or stinging from urination), and respiratory tract infections (eg, pneumonia, typhoid fever). It may also be used to treat some sexually transmitted infections (eg, gonorrhea).
Tetracycline may also be used in conjunction with other medications to treat a variety of bacterial infections. For example, tetracycline may be used to treat acne and other bacterial skin conditions. Tetracycline may also be used to treat other types of bacterial infections, such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and some types of skin infections. Tetracycline may be used with or without food as directed by a healthcare provider.
You should not use Tetracycline if you are allergic to it or if you are taking any of the following medications: azithromycin, erythromycin, clarithromycin, tetracycline, or erythromycin. You should not use Tetracycline if you are allergic to it or if you are taking any of the following medications: ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, minocycline, trimethoprim, sulfadiazine, sulfamethoxazole, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole/tazazocin. You should not use Tetracycline if you are taking or have recently taken any of the following medications: pimozide, quetiapine, or cetirizine. You should not use Tetracycline if you are taking pimozide, quetiapine, cetirizine, pimozide, or pimozide that have been used to treat mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety. You should not use Tetracycline if you are taking pimozide, quetiapine, cetirizine, or pimozide that have been used to treat mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety. You should not use Tetracycline if you are taking pimozide, quetiapine, cetirizine, pimozide, or cetirizine that are being studied to treat HIV/AIDS or other AIDS-related infections.
You should use Tetracycline at the same time each day regardless of which medication is being used. You should measure your medication at the time you take it, and not at the time of use date.
You should not handle crushed or broken Tetracycline. Tetracycline may be broken or crushed. This medication may be swallowed. For some infections, a liquid may be passed to you through a passivation tube. You should let your healthcare provider know if you are using any other liquid for the infection, such as milk, cheese, or yogurt. Discard any unused liquid after use.
You should use Tetracycline exactly as instructed by your provider. Your provider may start you on a low dose and gradually increase it to the lowest dose that will treat your infection. You should complete the full course as prescribed even if you feel better early in the disease process. If you stop taking Tetracycline and the infection does not clear up, you may need to be treated with additional antibiotic therapy.
It is important that you complete the full course of therapy, even if your symptoms begin to improve, even if you feel better before you finish the antibiotic medication. You may be prescribed a lower dose of antibiotic therapy if you feel that your infection does not clear up and you are not certain whether the infection is bacterial or viral. You should use this medication at the same time each day.
If you miss a dose of this medication, stop the medication and wait at least 6 hours before you take the next dose.
While adverse reactions to tetracycline are uncommon, some patients who take the drug may experience side effects, including headaches, gastrointestinal problems (stomach cramps, diarrhea), and dermal photosensitivity (increased skin sensitivity to sunlight). Tetracycline and other antibiotic medications have been known to cause yeast infections, so be on the lookout for symptoms like vaginal discharge, itching, or discomfort.
This is not a complete list of adverse effects – though these are among the most common. Seek medical attention right away if you experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, visual changes, or yellowing skin while taking tetracycline.
As with all prescription medication, be sure to inform the prescribing doctor about any medical conditions you have been previously diagnosed with, as well as any medication/ supplements you are currently taking before starting treatment with tetracycline. Tetracycline can interact with other forms of medication and substances, causing potentially serious side effects or life-threatening allergic reactions. Drug interactions can occur with blood thinners such as warfarin, certain retinoids, penicillin, and proton pump inhibitors among others.
Antacids and supplements containing calcium and magnesium can reduce the amount of tetracycline that your body absorbs, so be sure to take tetracycline 1–2 hours before or 1–2 hours after taking antacids or supplements.
Using tetracycline can cause your skin to become sensitive to sunlight or ultraviolet light, so try to avoid unnecessary exposure to the sun or UV rays (tanning beds) and do your best to wear protective clothing, sunglasses, or sunscreen that is SPF 15 or higher. Call your doctor if you notice redness, swelling, or blistering as a result of sun exposure while on tetracycline.
Oral contraceptives (birth control pills) with estrogen can lose effectiveness when combined with tetracycline, so unplanned pregnancy can occur.
In addition, let your doctor know if you are breastfeeding, pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant before starting treatment with this medication.

This form of medication is taken orally, with or without food, and are stored at room temperature away from heat, moisture, and reach of the children. Though liposome does have its own drew, tetracycline liposome has a very similar lipid solubility to tetracycline, making it a less suitable option for patients with liver or kidney disease.
If you are taking tetracycline antibiotic do not take more than one tablet a day, but take it at the same time each day. This way, you can more easily track when and how you use your medication.
Before taking tetracycline, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions you have been diagnosed with, as well as any medications/ supplements you are currently taking before starting treatment with tetracycline.
In addition, if you are allergic to tetracycline or any other ingredients of the drug, you should inform your doctor before starting treatment with this medication. In case you experience any of the following, stop taking tetracycline and inform your doctor immediately.
Another treatment option is to avoid sunblock during treatment with tetracycline, as the use of artificial light can cause skin to become more sensitive to ultraviolet light, which can cause symptoms like sunburn.
Pregnant or breastfeeding patients are two effective treatment options. Although there are alternative treatments that patients prefer, such as and, these drugs are still considered safe and effective medications. It is also important to disclose your medical history to your doctor, as some treatments may not be suitable for you in specific cases.
Using tetracycline can lead to the growth of organisms that may be harmful to an unborn or nursing infant, so inform your doctor if you are breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant. As with any treatment option, inform your doctor about your medical history when taking tetracycline, as well as any prescription/nonprescription drugs, vitamins, and supplements.
In addition, let your doctor know if you are about to have a medical emergency as tetracycline can cause an enlarged prostate, so inform the doctor before starting treatment with this medication.

The present study examined the effects of tetracycline and minocycline on the function of BCR-ABL1. Tetracycline is the antibiotic of choice in the treatment of infections caused by susceptible strains of bacteria. Quinolone is a broad-spectrum broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone with a broad spectrum activity against a broad range of bacteria. It is used to treat infections in vitro, but it is not used routinely in humans. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of tetracycline and minocycline on BCR-ABL1 function in vitro and in vivo. One hundred ten patients with bacterial infections of the lower extremities who had not responded to oral antibiotics were studied. Tetracycline was used as a control group. The BCR-ABL1 gene and promoter were isolated from the bacteria and then transferred to the cells of the patient. The results indicated that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of minocycline was found to be 50 microgram/ml, which is higher than the MIC of tetracycline for the bacterial infection. The results of this study suggest that minocycline is an effective treatment for bacterial infections, and that it may have therapeutic effects for some types of bacterial infections. However, it is necessary to conduct additional studies to understand the mechanism by which minocycline inhibits bacterial growth, and to determine the effect of minocycline on the function of BCR-ABL1.

Tetracycline and Minocycline as Treatment of Bacterial Infections.
The present study was performed on 10 patients with bacterial infections of the lower extremities who had not responded to oral antibiotics. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of tetracycline was found to be 100 microgram/ml, which is higher than the MIC of minocycline for the bacterial infection. The results of this study suggested that minocycline is an effective treatment for bacterial infections, and that it may have therapeutic effects for some types of bacterial infections.
