Indications and usage:

Oxytetracycline tablets are indicated to treat a wide range of infections caused by bacteria. They are also used for preventing and treating chronic bronchitis, severe acne, urinary tract (bladder and kidney) infections, stomatological and mouth ulcers and infections, venereal diseases such as syphillis and gonnorrhoea.

This medication is also widely used in veterinary for the treatment of various bacterial infections in cattle, poultry, sheeps, pigs, fish, dogs, bees, and other animals.


Actions:

Oxytetracycline is primarily bacteriostatic and is thought to exert its antimicrobial effect by the inhibition of protein synthesis. Oxytetracycline is active against a wide range of gram-negative and gram-positive organisms.

The drugs in the tetracycline class have closely similar antimicrobial spectra, and cross resistance among them is common. Microorganisms may be considered susceptible if the M.I.C. (minimum inhibitory concentration) is not more than 4.0 mcg/ml and intermediate if the M.I.C. is 4.0 to 12.5 mcg/ml.

Susceptibility plate testing: A tetracycline disc may be used to determine microbial susceptibility to drugs in the tetracycline class. If the Kirby-Bauer method of disc susceptibility testing is used, a 30 mcg tetracycline disc should give a zone of at least 19 mm when tested against a tetracycline-susceptible bacterial strain.

Tetracyclines are readily absorbed and are bound to plasma proteins in varying degree. They are concentrated by the liver in the bile, and excreted in the urine and feces at high concentrations and in a biologically active form.


Contraindications:

Do not take oxytetracycline tablets if:

You know you are allergic to oxytetracycline (or any other medicine belonging to the tetracycline group of drugs) or you are allergic to any of the other ingredients in this medication.

You have long term kidney or liver dysfunction or porphyria.

You suffer from (SLE) systemic lupus erythematosus (an immunological disorder affecting connective tissue and vessels of the skin, nervous system, heart, lungs, kidneys, joints and other organs).

You are pregnant or breastfeeding (unless considered essential by your doctor) as oxytetracycline can affect the development of your baby.

Dosage forms and strengths:

Terramycin (Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride) 250 mg capsules.

Terramycin (Oxytetracycline Dihydrate) 250 mg tablets.


Dosage and administration:

Adults: usual daily dose, 1-2 g divided in four equal doses, depending on the severity of the infection.

For children above eight years of age: usual daily dose, 10-20 mg per pound (25-50 mg/kg) of body weight divided in four equal doses.

Therapy should be continued for at least 24-48 hours after symptoms and fever have subsided.

For treatment of brucellosis, 500 mg oxytetracycline four times daily for 3 weeks should be accompanied by streptomycin, 1 gram intramuscularly twice daily the first week, and once daily the second week.

For treatment of uncomplicated gonorrhea, when penicillin is contraindicated, tetracycline may be used for the treatment of both males and females in the following divided dosage schedule: 1.5 grams initially followed by 0.5 gram q.i.d. for a total of 9.0 grams.

For treatment of syphilis, a total of 30-40 grams in equally divided doses over a period of 10-15 days should be given. Close follow-up, including laboratory tests, is recommended.

Administration of adequate amounts of fluid along with capsule and tablet forms of drugs in the tetracycline class is recommended to wash down the drugs and reduce the risk of esophageal irritation and ulceration.

Concomitant therapy: Antacids containing aluminum, calcium, or magnesium impair absorption and should not be given to patients taking oral tetracyclines.

Food and some dairy products also interfere with absorption. Oral forms of tetracyclines should be given 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals. Pediatric oral dosage forms should not be given with milk formulas and should be given at least 1 hour prior to feeding.
