Medical Description

Rtetra tablet is an antibiotic used for selected bacterial infections, including some infections of the skin, respiratory tract, urinary system and sexually transmitted infections. It contains tetracycline, which blocks bacteria from making proteins needed for growth. By limiting bacterial multiplication, it allows the body's immune system to clear the infection. Rtetra tablet is taken by mouth on an empty stomach with sufficient water, and it should be used only for an infection diagnosed by a doctor. It is not useful for viral illnesses such as common colds.

Uses

  • Bacterial infections: Treats susceptible infections caused by bacteria, including selected skin, respiratory tract and urinary system infections.
  • Selected sexually transmitted infections: May be prescribed for certain bacterial sexually transmitted infections when a clinician confirms tetracycline is appropriate.

Contraindications

If you are allergic to any ingredient of this medicine or to another tetracycline antibiotic, do not use it. Do not use tetracycline during pregnancy. It is generally unsuitable for young children because it can affect developing teeth and bones. Tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, difficulty swallowing, or a history of severe antibiotic reactions.

  • Vomiting: Stomach irritation may lead to vomiting during treatment. Seek medical advice if you cannot keep fluids down.
  • Diarrhoea: Changes in normal bowel bacteria can cause loose stools. Get medical help for severe, persistent or bloody diarrhoea.

Dosage

If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

How does this medicine work?

Tetracycline enters bacterial cells and blocks their ability to make essential proteins. Without these proteins, bacteria cannot grow or multiply effectively.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Rtetra tablet works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, mention isotretinoin, tretinoin or acitretin, antacids, iron, calcium, magnesium or zinc products, and typhoid vaccine containing purified Vi polysaccharide or inactivated cholera vaccine. Mineral products can reduce tetracycline absorption, while retinoid combinations may increase the risk of raised pressure inside the head.

Interactions with food items

Milk and other calcium-rich foods can reduce absorption. Ask your doctor how to separate dairy products and mineral supplements from Rtetra.
