Tetracycline antibiotics

Tetracycline antibiotics are medications used to treat bacterial infections by stopping bacteria from growing and multiplying. They work by interfering with the bacteria's ability to produce proteins, which are essential for their survival. Tetracyclines are effective against a wide range of infections, including respiratory tract infections, acne, and certain sexually transmitted diseases. They are typically taken orally and require medical guidance because they can interact with other drugs and are not suitable for everyone, such as pregnant women or young children. Proper use ensures effective treatment and helps prevent antibiotic resistance.
