What is Tetracycline Compounded?
Tetracycline Compounded is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat various conditions caused by susceptible bacteria. Compounding is beneficial in instances where a specific dosage is unavailable or in different forms to make it easier to dose your pet. Tetracycline requires a prescription from your veterinarian, and is sold by the capsule.

How it Works:
Tetracycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis.
Cautions:
Tetracycline is not for use in pregnant, nursing or growing animals. Antibiotic medications can cause side effects or allergic reactions, such as diarrhea, hives, difficulty breathing, and swelling. If your pet shows any abnormal signs, call your veterinarian. Do not give your pet multivitamins, calcium supplements, antacids, or laxatives within two hours before or after giving tetracycline.

- Tetracycline Compounded is a prescription antibiotic used to fight bacterial infections such as Lyme disease, Chlamydia, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and others, in dogs and cats.
- Do not give this medication with milk or dairy products unless your veterinarian has told you to do so. Dairy products reduce the absorption of Tetracycline.
Tip:
Give this medication for the entire length of time prescribed by your veterinarian. Symptoms may improve before the infection is completely treated. Throw away any unused Tetracycline when it expires or when it is no longer needed. Do not give Tetracycline after the expiration date printed on the bottle. Expired Tetracycline can cause a dangerous syndrome that can result in damage to the kidneys.
