Medical Description

Ledermycin tablet is an antibiotic used for selected bacterial infections and, in specialist care, for low sodium caused by inappropriate water retention. It contains demeclocycline, which stops susceptible bacteria from making proteins needed for growth. It can also reduce the kidney's response to the body's water-retaining signal, helping selected patients correct low sodium. Ledermycin tablet is swallowed whole with water on an empty stomach as directed, and it is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It should be used only when a doctor considers this treatment appropriate.

Directions for Use

Take this medicine as a whole with sufficient water. Swallow Ledermycin tablet while upright on an empty stomach, unless your doctor gives different instructions, and do not lie down immediately afterwards. Antacids, iron, calcium, magnesium and dairy products can reduce absorption, so follow the separation advice given by your doctor. Do not chew, crush or break it.

  • Keep dairy products and mineral supplements separate as advised.
  • Tell your doctor if you develop severe diarrhoea.
  • Do not use vitamin A-related acne medicines with it unless approved.

Dosage

Overdose

Too much may cause severe nausea, vomiting, dizziness or worsening of medicine-related toxicity. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it is time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Demeclocycline blocks bacterial protein production, stopping susceptible bacteria from growing. It can also reduce the kidney's response to the body's water-retaining signal, helping some patients with low sodium caused by excess water retention.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Ledermycin tablet works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, tell your doctor about tretinoin, isotretinoin or acitretin because combining vitamin A-related medicines with demeclocycline can increase pressure-related headache risk, iron, calcium, magnesium or antacids because they lower absorption, and purified typhoid or inactivated cholera vaccines because treatment may reduce vaccine response or require timing review.

Interactions with food items

Milk, other dairy products and calcium-rich foods can bind demeclocycline and lower its absorption. Food may also reduce absorption, so take it on an empty stomach unless your doctor advises otherwise.
