Resteclin

Uses
Resteclin (Tetracycline) can be used to treat many different conditions. Many patients use it to treat acne. It is also commonly used to treat other types of infection caused by bacteria, such as respiratory and urinary tract infections, skin infections, gonorrhoea, stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori (a type of bacteria), as well as others not listed here. Doctors will often prescribe it to treat Lyme disease. This drug is a type of antibiotic, and it works by stopping the spread and growth of bacteria.

Dosage and Administration
To ensure maximum effectiveness, you doctor will most likely recommend that you take each Resteclin (Tetracycline) capsule on an empty stomach. Either take it 1 hour before eating, or else 2 hours after a meal. However, if you suffer from an upset stomach, you may be directed to take it with food. The exact dosage is decided by your doctor, and adults are usually told to take it 2 to 4 times per day. Swallow the capsule whole, and do not chew or crush it. Even if your symptoms disappear, you must keep taking it until you have finished the entire amount prescribed to you, as stopping treatment early could result in your symptoms returning.
