What is Hostacycline (Tetracycline) used for?

Hostacycline (Tetracycline) is an oral antibiotic prescribed to treat patients suffering from acne, cholera, tetanus, or bacterial infections of the skin, lungs, or eyes. It operates by slowing or stopping the reproduction of bacteria cells making it easier for the immune system to control or eliminate the infection. Your doctor may also prescribe this medication for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Hostacycline (Tetracycline)?

Hostacycline (Tetracycline) should always be used according to your doctor`s instructions to get the safest and most effective results from treatment. The normal dosage is one tablet administered two or three times each day for a cycle of medicine lasting one or two weeks, but your particular instructions will depend on your age, weight, health condition, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a large glass of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a meal is recommended prior to you use if nausea occurs. Never split or crush the tablets before use to avoid destroying or altering the effects of their contents.
