Tetracycline is available as a 250mg and 500mg capsule formulation.

Tetracycline is a Tetracycline antibiotic which is used to treat and manage various bacterial infections such as urinary tract infection, pneumonia, eye infection, bacterial acne, gonorrhoea or upper & lower urinary tract infections.

Tetracycline is a tetracyline antibiotic that stops the growth of bacteria. It works by inhibiting the 30S ribosomal subunit, hindering the binding of the aminoacyl-tRNA to the acceptor site on the mRNA-ribosome complex. When this process halts, a cell can no longer maintain proper functioning and will be unable to grow or further replicate.

Tetracycline is typically prescribed as a 1g daily dose. This dose can be split into 500mg twice a day or 250 mg four times a day.
