Oxytetracycline is a tetracycline antibiotic used to treat a range of bacterial infections, sold on PockDose as Terramycin 250mg capsules taken by mouth.
Oxytetracycline
250mg
Terramycin sold here is generic oxytetracycline 250mg capsules, a tetracycline antibiotic used for bacterial infections, in packs of 60 or 90 capsules.
Oxytetracycline comes from the tetracycline family. Antibiotics in this group get inside the bacterial cell and attach to the ribosomes, the machinery that builds proteins; without those proteins the bacteria cannot grow or multiply. Human cells assemble proteins differently, so the drug acts on the infection rather than on the person taking it.
The oxytetracycline sold on PockDose is the Terramycin listing, 250mg capsules taken by mouth. A broad-spectrum antibiotic acts on many kinds of bacteria instead of one narrow group, and oxytetracycline is one. Skin creams that pair it with a steroid and an antifungal for infected rashes also exist, but that is a separate use from the capsules.
Oral oxytetracycline is used for bacterial infections in various parts of the body: chest and throat infections, urinary and genital infections, skin infections and acne, and some eye infections. It also covers organisms that many other antibiotics miss, including chlamydia and the rickettsiae behind fevers such as scrub typhus. The capsules sit in the antibiotics range.
Swallow it whole with a full glass of water. Absorption falls when there is food in the stomach, so a capsule is best taken about an hour before eating or two hours afterwards. Stay upright for a while rather than lying straight down, since a capsule that lodges in the oesophagus (the food pipe) can burn it. Courses run from a few days to a few weeks, depending on what is being treated.
Most people who notice anything feel sick or get loose stools or an upset stomach, and this often wears off after the first few days. Skin is the other area to watch: tetracyclines make it burn much faster in the sun, so keep covered up and use sun protection until the course ends.
Rarely, this antibiotic causes a reaction that needs urgent treatment: swelling of the face, lips or tongue, or difficulty breathing. Rarely too, pressure inside the head can rise, causing a severe headache with disturbed vision. Tetracyclines are not used in pregnancy or in young children, since they can stain developing teeth and affect growing bone.
Dairy foods such as milk, yoghurt and cheese, and supplements containing calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc or aluminium, grab hold of oxytetracycline in the gut so that less of it reaches the blood. Antacids and indigestion remedies do the same. Leave about two hours between the capsule and any of these. The blister or bottle it came in is the best place for the capsules until use, away from sun and damp.

Terramycin is a brand name of oxytetracycline. Here, oxytetracycline can be bought online as generic Terramycin. These are generics, not the original brand.
Yes. Oxytetracycline is the antibiotic and Terramycin is the name on this listing, which is 250mg capsules swallowed whole with water. Searching under either name leads to the same active ingredient.
It depends on the infection. Chest, urinary and skin infections are usually treated for several days, while acne needs weeks rather than days. The usual approach is to finish the whole course, since stopping as soon as you feel better can let the infection return.
There is no specific interaction between oxytetracycline and alcohol, but drinking can add to the nausea and stomach upset the antibiotic sometimes causes. If a capsule already leaves you queasy, a night of drinking will make that worse rather than better.
Yes. Tetracyclines can bring on a sunburn-like reaction on exposed skin, with redness, itching and sometimes swelling, and it can happen after fairly short spells in the sun. Keep arms and face covered and use sunscreen while you are taking the capsules.
No. Colds and flu are caused by viruses, and oxytetracycline only works on bacteria, so it will not shorten them or ease the symptoms. It is meant for bacterial infections such as chest, urinary, skin and genital infections, including those caused by chlamydia.
