Tetracycline

Tetracycline is an antibiotic that belongs to the tetracycline class of medications. It is widely used to treat various bacterial infections, including respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, acne, and certain sexually transmitted diseases. Tetracycline works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, preventing the growth and spread of harmful bacteria in the body.

Patients should take Tetracycline as prescribed, preferably on an empty stomach, and avoid dairy products or antacids that may interfere with absorption. While generally well tolerated, some users may experience side effects such as nausea, sensitivity to sunlight, or digestive discomfort. Tetracycline remains a reliable choice for treating bacterial infections effectively.
