class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Tetracycline RPH Pharma is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tetracycline\u00a0RPH Pharma is an\u00a0antibiotic\u00a0that works by\u00a0inhibiting\u00a0bacteria that cause\u00a0infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tetracycline\u00a0RPH Pharma is used for various types of\u00a0infection\u00a0caused by bacteria that are sensitive to\u00a0tetracycline.\u00a0Can also be used for\u00a0acne\u00a0(pimples).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before taking Tetracycline RPH Pharma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Tetracycline RPH Pharma:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to tetracycline hydrochloride or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section

avoid sunbathing and solarium treatment even for a couple of days after finishing the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tetracycline\u00a0RPH Pharma should not be given to children under 8 years of age except on a specific\u00a0prescription\u00a0from a doctor because it can be deposited in the growing skeleton and cause damage to growing teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Tetracycline RPH Pharma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take other medicines, as some medicines can affect or be affected by treatment

contain lime (\u00a0calcium\u00a0), iron, or zinc.\u00a0The effect of\u00a0Tetracycline\u00a0RPH Pharma is reduced if it is taken at the same time as medicines containing\u00a0calcium, iron, or zinc taken by mouth.\u00a0These medicines and\u00a0Tetracycline\u00a0RPH Pharma should therefore be taken at least 3 hours apart.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tetracycline RPH Pharma with food and drink<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tetracycline&nbsp;RPH Pharma should not be taken with a meal, as milk and other calcium-containing foods (e.g. skimmed milk, yogurt, cheese) can reduce the effect

Tetracycline RPH Pharma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always take this medicine as directed by your doctor.&nbsp;Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dose&nbsp;is determined by the doctor, who adjusts it individually for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recommended\u00a0dose\u00a0for\u00a0infection\u00a0is 1 tablet 4 times daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The
