Oxytetracycline inhibits cell growth by inhibiting translation. It binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit and prevents the amino-acyl tRNA from binding to the A site of the ribosome. The binding is reversible in nature. Oxytetracycline is lipophilic and can easily pass through the cell membrane or passively diffuses through porin channels in the bacterial membrane.
Adults: 250-500 mg every 6 hours. Food, milk and some dairy products interfere with the absorption of Tetracyclines. So Tetracyclines should be given one hour before or two hours after meals.
Antacids containing Aluminium, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc or Iron salts may impair the absorption of Oxytetracycline. In long term therapy, Tetracyclines depress plasma prothrombin activity and reduced doses of concomitant anticoagulants may be necessary. A few cases of pregnancy or breakthrough bleeding have been attributed to the concurrent use of Tetracyclines or Oxytetracyclines with oral contraceptives.
Side effects of Oxytetracycline, which have been reported in some patients, are anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, glossitis, skin rashes and urticaria.
Results of animal studies indicate that tetracyclines cross the placenta, are found in fetal tissues and can have toxic effects on the developing fetus. Evidence of embryotoxicity has also been noted in animals treated early in pregnancy. Tetracyclines are present in the milk of lactating women who are taking a drug in this class.
Oxytetracycline should be used with caution in renal impairment.
