Uses
of Sumycin :
TETRACYCLINES
- ORAL
COMMON BRAND NAME(S)
Achromycin V, Sumycin
SUMYCIN USES
This medication is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial
infections. It is also used to treat acne and to prevent "traveler's
diarrhea".
HOW TO USE SUMYCIN
This medication works best if taken on an empty stomach one
hour before or two hours after meals. Take each dose with
a full glass of water (4oz. or 120ml) or more. Do not lie
down for 30 minutes after taking this drug. May take with
food if stomach upset occurs unless your doctor directs you
otherwise.
The liquid suspension form of this medicine
must be shaken well before using.
Avoid consuming dairy products or taking
antacids containing aluminum, magnesium or calcium, sucralfate,
zinc (e.g., vitamins) or iron preparations within 2-3 hours
of taking this drug. These products bind with this antibiotic
preventing its absorption.
Antibiotics work best when the amount of
medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Do this
by taking the medication at evenly spaced intervals throughout
the day and night. Continue to take this medication until
the full prescribed amount is finished even if symptoms disappear
after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow
bacteria to continue to grow resulting in a relapse of the
infection.
SUMYCIN SIDE EFFECTS
This medication may cause stomach upset, diarrhea, nausea,
headache or vomiting. If these symptoms persist or worsen,
notify your doctor. Very unlikely, but report promptly: stomach
pain, yellowing eyes or skin, vision problems, mental changes.
Tetracyclines increase sensitivity to sunlight. Use of this
medication for prolonged or repeated periods may result in
a secondary infection (e.g., oral, bladder or vaginal yeast
infection) or sore throat while taking this medication. In
the unlikely event you have an allergic reaction to this drug,
seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms of an allergic
reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble
breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact
your doctor or pharmacist.

or liver problems, any allergies, trouble swallowing, esophagus

up to 8 years of age because its use may permanently discolor
their teeth or cause other problems. Caution is advised in
older children also. This drug is not recommended for use

This drug is excreted into breast milk and has been shown
to have undesirable effects on nursing infants. Therefore,
its use is not recommended while breast-feeding. Consult your
doctor before you breast-feed.
