What is the medication you can buy as Sumycin? When is it used?

The brand Sumycin is used for marketing of the worldwide well-known antibiotic Tetracycline. It is a bacteriostatic antibiotic that interferes with the formation of bond between the transport RNA and a ribosome which induces the synthesis of the protein needed for bacteria multiplication. The original formula was developed back in 1953 and started to be used for commercial production of the antibiotic in 1978. Nowadays, this antibiotic is considered one of the essential medications in a modern healthcare system. Due to its status of one of the essential medications and the fact that the exclusive patent for its production had already expired, the same formulation is available from different manufacturers and under various names. When you have to buy Sumycin, you can look for generic Sumycin or Tetracycline capsules with the same dosage of the active agent per pill as in the branded drug and save your money on the treatment. Please note that there are different dosages per capsule and to get the proper treatment in accordance to your doctor’s prescription you need to pay attention to the dosing. For instance, at this webpage we offer you to order the capsules of Tetracycline with the dosage of 250 mg and 500 mg.

Patients with kidney failure are prohibited to be given tetracyclines except for the cases when the use of the medications from this class is deemed absolutely necessary. In this case, the daily dosage must be lowered either through the lowering of the single dosage or the increased intervals between the intakes.

When you buy generic Tetracycline, make sure to check with your healthcare provider that you don’t take any medications this antibiotic can negatively interact with:

- The medication is not advised to be taken at the same time as iron-containing medications as they can mutually lower the absorption of each other.
- In the same-time use of Sumycin with Digoxin or lithium, their concentration in the blood can be lifted and the likelihood of adverse effects higher.
- The risk of poisoning with ergot alkaloids is increased in the concurrent use of tetracycline and any medicines based on ergot.
- The toxicity of Methotrexate can be raised if it is combined with tetracycline.
- The formulation must not be used as the same time a vaccine against typhus is made as this can lower the effect of the latter.
- The antibiotic must not be used with penicilins, cephalosporins, and other antibiotics with bactericidal effect as they mutually suppress the effects of each other.
- Retinoids used with tetracycline can cause increased intracranial pressure so their use must not be combined.
- The use of the antibiotic with cholestyramine interferes with the absorption of the latter.
- The antibiotic can lower the efficiency of oral birth control so barrier contraception must be also used to avoid pregnancy.
- The medication must be cautiously used with diuretics (water pills), diabetes medications, indirect anticoagulants, painkillers, and other medicines that negatively affect the liver.

Please note that these are not all interactions. If you take any medications, talk with your healthcare provider about the safety of their use with Sumycin.
