Drug Uses
Terramycin is a type of antibiotic called a tetracycline. It is used to treat infections with bacteria.
How to use
Use Terramycin as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
Take Terramycin by mouth on an empty stomach at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating.
Take Terramycin with a full glass of water (8 oz/240 mL). Do not lie down for 30 minutes after taking Terramycin.
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 . Check with your doctor if you have questions.
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.
Drug Class and Mechanism
Terramycin is a tetracycline antibiotic. It 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.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of Terramycin , take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Storage
Store Terramycin at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep in a tight, light-resistant container. Keep Terramycin out of the reach of children and away from pets.
