Medical Antibiotic Pharmaceutical Medicines Tetracycline HCl Capsules 250mg

Indications:

Tetracycline Hcl Capsule works by slowing the growth of sensitive bacteria by interfering with the production of proteins needed by the bacteria to grow. Slowing the bacteria's growth allows the body's defense mechanisms to destroy them.

Contra-indications:

Tetracycline use should be avoided in pregnant or lactating women, and in children with developing teeth because they may result in permanent staining (dark yellow-gray teeth with a darker horizontal band that goes across the top and bottom rows of teeth), and possibly affect the growth of teeth and bones.

Adverse Effects:

Common side effects persist or become bothersome: Black hairy tongue; blurred vision; bulky loose stools; diarrhea; difficulty swallowing; fever; headache; hives; hoarseness; indigestion; inflammation or redness of tongue; joint pain; loss of appetite; mouth sores; nausea; rash; sensitivity to sunlight; sore throat; stomach pain; swelling and itching of the rectum.

Drug Interactions:

Drug interactions with tetracycline can change how your body metabolizes the drugs, contribute to severe kidney damage, and significantly decrease the amount of tetracycline in your system, among other things. A few of the drugs that can potentially interact with tetracycline include penicillin, warfarin, oral contraceptives, and simvastatin. Make sure to talk with your pharmacist or healthcare provider about specific tetracycline drug interactions that may apply to you.
