    Tetracycline is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections like chlamydia, mycoplasmal, rickettsial infections, syphilis, and some gram-negative and positive infections. It works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria, preventing their replication. Common side effects include GI upset, tooth discoloration, hepatoxicity, and sun sensitivity. It should be taken with food on an empty stomach, one hour before or two hours after other medications or supplements. Nursing interventions include monitoring for side effects and interactions with other medications.
