Is oxytetracycline harmful to the body?

Absolutely harmful! The first has a serious impact on the normal intestinal flora, the second may cause endogenous ** infection, and the third oxytetracycline itself has a toxic effect on the liver and kidney.

Don't take medicine if you're not sick! Remember that it is three parts of poison!

It should be fine, my parents used to give me food when I had diarrhea.

It is definitely not good to be poisonous, and it will be used dependently.

Oxytetracycline is extracted from the culture broth of Streptomyces in the soil, and is a pale yellow powder that darkens in sunlight. It has a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect, which can inhibit and kill Gram-positive bacteria such as pneumococcus, streptococcus, some staphylococcus, Bacillus anthracis, Tetanus bacillus, Corynebacterium and Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Pasteurella, Salmonella, Brucella, Haemophilus, Klebsiella and Bacillus melioidosis. It is mainly used for the prevention and treatment of pasteurellosis, brucellosis, anthrax, E. coli and salmonella infection, acute respiratory tract infection, equine melioidosis, equine bubonic disease and Mycoplasma suis pneumonia.

**Urinary tract infections should be treated with vitamin C to acidify urine. It is also commonly used as feed drug additives, in addition to preventing and treating diseases, it can also improve feed use efficiency and promote weight gain.

Dosage 1) Oxytetracycline tablets are taken once internally, per kilogram of body weight, pigs, foals, calves, lambs 10 25 mg, dogs 15 50 mg, poultry 2 3 times, 3 5 days. During the drug withdrawal period, cattle, sheep and pigs are 7 days, the milk abandonment period is 3 days, the poultry is 5 days, and the egg abandonment period is 2 days.

2) Oxytetracycline injection intramuscular injection in one amount, 10 20 mg per kilogram of body weight, livestock. Lactating cattle are prohibited, and the drug withdrawal period is 28 days for cattle, sheep and pigs.

3) Oxytetracycline hydrochloride for injection is injected intravenously, not intramuscularly injection. One dose, per kilogram of body weight, 5 10 mg for livestock, 2 times a day, for 2 3 days. During the drug withdrawal period, cattle, sheep and pigs are 8 days, and the milk abandonment period is 48 hours.

Precautions All preparations should be protected from light, sealed, and stored in a cool, dark and dry place. Do not mix with tap water and alkaline solutions with high chlorine content. Do not use metal containers; Adult ruminants, equine animals and rabbits should not take tetracyclines internally, because they are easy to cause digestive disorders, resulting in food loss, abdominal distension, diarrhea and vitamin B group, vitamin K deficiency and other symptoms.

Long-term application can induce superinfection of drug-resistant bacteria and fungi, and in severe cases, cause sepsis and death. Horses can sometimes develop gastroenteritis after injection, so it should be used with caution; When taken internally, it should be avoided with dairy products and drugs containing calcium, magnesium, aluminum, iron, bismuth and other drugs and feeds with high calcium content. Food can block the absorption of tetracyclines, and it is advisable to take it on an empty stomach before feeding; Tetracyclines should be contraindicated when the liver and kidney function of animals are seriously damaged.

1. Digestive system:

Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, epigastric discomfort, abdominal distension, diarrhea, and occasionally pancreatitis, esophagitis, and esophageal ulcers have been reported, mostly in patients who are bedridden immediately after taking the drug.

2. Hepatotoxicity:

Fatty liver degeneration is usually present, and hepatotoxicity occurs in pregnant women and patients with pre-existing renal impairment, but hepatotoxicity can also occur in patients without these conditions.

3. Allergic reactions:

Mostly maculopapular rashes and erythema, but urticaria, angioedema, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, pericarditis, and exacerbations of systemic lupus erythematosus are common, and epidermal exfoliative dermatitis is uncommon. Anaphylactic shock and asthma occasionally occur. Some patients who take tetracycline have photosensitivity when exposed to the sun.

Therefore, patients should be advised not to be directly exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet rays, and to discontinue the drug immediately if they have erythema.

In view of the negative impact of the above oxytetracycline on their own health, I hope that everyone needs to pay more attention when choosing oxytetracycline to avoid unnecessary harm.

What can people prevent by eating oxytetracycline

1. Prevent respiratory tract infections

Oxytetracycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is used in a variety of infectious diseases, including respiratory tract infections. Therefore, people taking oxytetracycline can prevent the occurrence of respiratory tract infections. Especially for health care workers and home health workers who are regularly exposed to viruses and bacteria, taking oxytetracycline can reduce the risk of infection.

At the same time, in the season of high influenza incidence, taking oxytetracycline can also enhance the body's ability to prevent high epidemics and reduce the risk of disease.

2. Prevent digestive tract infections

Oxytetracycline can also prevent and ** digestive tract infections. Gastrointestinal infections are a common condition that tends to occur during the summer months, especially in areas where water is not guaranteed and toilet sanitation is poor. Oxytetracycline can kill and inhibit the bacteria that cause gastrointestinal infections, especially for bacterial infections, oxytetracycline has a good ** effect.

3. Prevent **infection

In addition to preventing infectious diseases, oxytetracycline can also prevent and **some** infections such as boils, carbuncles, and acne, among others. These ** infections are usually caused by bacteria, and oxytetracycline can stop the bacteria from multiplying and expanding, reducing the symptoms of infection.

4. Prevent certain parasitic infections

Oxytetracycline also protects against certain parasitic infections. For example, intestinal parasitic infections are a common disease that can be spread through diet and unclean hands. Oxytetracycline can kill and inhibit some common parasites in the intestines, such as roundworms and hookworms.

Therefore, people who have lived and worked in areas with a high incidence of diseases for a long time can use oxytetracycline rationally for prevention under the guidance of doctors**.

Summary

Humans eating oxytetracycline can prevent a variety of infectious diseases, including respiratory tract infections, digestive tract infections, ** infections, and certain parasitic infections. However, any medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor, especially for special populations such as children, pregnant women, and the elderly, and the dosage and duration of the medication need to be strictly controlled.
