Common use

Terramycin is an antibiotic called a tetracycline. It is used to treat infections caused by bacteria. It slows the growth of sensitive bacteria by interfering with the production of proteins needed by the bacteria to grow. It allows the body's defense mechanisms to destroy them.

If you also take antacids containing aluminum, calcium, or magnesium; preparations containing bismuth, iron, zinc, or sodium bicarbonate; or calcium rich foods (eg, milk, dairy products, calcium-enriched juices), do not take them within 2 to 3 hours before or after taking Terramycin . To clear up your infection completely, take Terramycin for the full course of treatment. Keep taking it even if you feel better in a few days.
