Tetracycline Rx Drug Uses

Use Tetracycline Rx to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria.

How Tetracycline Rx 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.

Tetracycline Rx 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 Tetracycline Rx Dose

If you skip doses or do not complete the full course of Tetracycline Rx 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 Tetracycline Rx 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.

Tetracycline Rx Storage

Store the Tetracycline Rx tablets at room temperature; avoid excessive heat. Dispense Tetracycline Rx in tight, light-resistant containers. Keep Tetracycline Rx out of the reach of children.

Tetracycline Rx Overdose

In case of Tetracycline Rx overdosage, seek emergency medical attention.
