Information About Tetracycline

Tetracycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat acne vulgaris, rosacea, Helicobacter pylori eradication, and intracellular bacterial infections in Singapore. Available as a 250mg–500mg oral capsule taken four times daily on an empty stomach, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. It must be taken on an empty stomach and separated from dairy, antacids, and iron supplements by at least two hours as divalent cations form insoluble tetracycline complexes that dramatically reduce oral bioavailability.
