What is Tetracyn

TetracyclineThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryTetracycline is an antibiotic used to fight bacteria. It works by binding to the bacteria’s ribosomes, which are responsible for making proteins, and preventing them from making proteins. It also affects the cytoplasmic membrane, which can cause components to escape from the bacterial cells.

Effectiveness

How Tetracyn Affects PatientsTetracycline is a short-term antibiotic that stops bacteria from multiplying. It works by attaching to parts of the bacteria's ribosome, which is responsible for translating genetic material into proteins. This attachment is not permanent. Additionally, tetracycline may cause the walls of the bacteria to become damaged, which leads to the release of important bacterial components.
How Tetracyn works in the bodyTetracycline gets into bacteria and stops them from making proteins. It does this by blocking the channels that allow tRNA to attach to the ribosomes, which are responsible for making proteins.

When to interrupt dosage

The amount of Tetracyn is contingent upon the determined condition, such as Bartonellosis, Skin Infections caused by Staphylococcus Aureus and Clostridium difficile Infection (CDI). The dosage is contingent upon the mode of delivery, according to the table given below.
