Photos Sumycin pills Sumycin (Tetracycline) online How To Use This medication works best if taken on an empty stomach one hour before or two hours after meals. Take each dose with a full glass of water (4oz. or 120ml) or more. Do not lie down for at least one hour after taking this drug. May take with food if stomach upset occurs unless your doctor directs you otherwise. The liquid suspension form of this medicine must be shaken well before using. Avoid consuming dairy products or taking antacids containing aluminum, magnesium or calcium, sucralfate, zinc (e.g., vitamins) or iron preparations within 2-3 hours of taking this drug. These products bind with this antibiotic preventing its absorption. Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Do this by taking the medication at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day and night. Continue to take this medication until the full prescribed amount is finished even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow resulting in a relapse of the infection. Side Effects This medication may cause stomach upset, diarrhea, nausea, headache or vomiting. If these symptoms persist or worsen, notify your doctor. Very unlikely but report promptly stomach pain, yellowing eyes or skin, or vision or mental changes. Tetracyclines increase sensitivity to sunlight.

In the unlikely event you have an allergic reaction to this drug, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, itching, swelling, dizziness or trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
