Oxytetracycline(50 Mg)
Uses
Acne, actinomycotic mycetoma, amoebic dysentry, biliary tract infections, brucellosis, chlamydial infections, cholera, fever, gonorrhoea, malaria, melioidosis, pneumonia, Q fever, respiratory tract infections, rickettsiae.
How it works
Oxytetracycline inhibits cell growth by inhibiting translation. It binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit and prevents the amino-acyl tRNA from binding to the A site of the ribosome. The binding is reversible in nature. Oxytetracycline is lipophilic and can easily pass through the cell membrane or passively diffuses through porin channels in the bacterial membrane.
Common side effects
Renal failure, nausea, anorexia, diarrhea, maculopapular rash, dysphagia, enterocolitis, erythematous rash, esophagitis, leukopenia, bulging of fontanelle, esophageal ulceration.
Who should not take
Systemic lupus erythematosus.
