Discard any unused drug. Check Ala-Tet s expiration date. Taking outdated tetracycline (or a related drug) can result in serious illness. Overdose If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately. How To Use Ala-Tet works best if taken on an empty stomach one hour before or two hours after meals.

Continue to take Ala-Tet 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 Ala-Tet may cause stomach upset, diarrhea, nausea, headache or vomiting.
