| Material Notes | a tetracycline analog isolated from the actinomycete streptomyces rimosus and used in a wide variety of clinical conditions. Clinically used broad-spectrum antibacterial antibiotic. Approved by FDA for use in fish and animal feeds Oxytetracycline is known as a broad-spectrum antibiotic due to its activity against such a wide range of infections. It was the second of the tetracyclines to be discovered. Oxytetracycline, like other tetracyclines, is used to treat many infections common and rare. Its better absorption profile makes it preferable to tetracycline for moderately severe acne, but alternatives sould be sought if no improvement occurs by 3 months. |
