Drug Information

Common uses for Sumycin
Sumycin ( Tetracycline), a "broad-spectrum" antibiotic, is used to treat bacterial infections such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, typhus fever, and tick fevers; upper respiratory infections; pneumonia; gonorrhea; amoebic infections; and urinary tract infections. It is also used to help treat severe acne and to treat trachoma (a chronic eye infection) and conjunctivitis (pinkeye). Sumycin (Tetracycline) is often an alternative drug for people who are allergic to penicillin.

Caution -Who should not take Sumycin
Do not take Sumycin if you are sensitive to or have ever had an allergic reaction to any tetracycline medication. If you have kidney disease, make sure the doctor knows about it. A lower than usual dose of Sumycin (tetracycline) may be needed. Tetracycline drugs can make you more prone to sunburn when you are in sunlight or ultraviolet light. Take appropriate precautions. Some adults may develop a headache and blurred vision while taking Sumycin (tetracycline), and infants may develop a bulging soft spot on the head. Contact your doctor if you experience or notice these symptoms. They usually disappear soon after Sumycin is stopped.

How should Sumycin be used
Take Sumycin(tetracycline) 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals. Foods, milk, and some other dairy products affect absorption of the drug. Tetracycline should be continued for at least 24 to 48 hours after your symptoms have subsided. If you miss a dose: Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose and you take tetracycline once a day (e.g., for acne), take the dose you missed, and then take the next one 10 to 12 hours later; if you take it twice a day, take the dose you missed, and then take the next one 5 to 6 hours later; if you take 3 or more doses a day, take the one you missed, and then take the next one 2 to 4 hours later. Then go back to your regular schedule. Store capsules at room temperature. Keep the liquid form of tetracycline in the refrigerator, but do not allow it to freeze.
