Tetracycline
This broad-spectrum antibiotic is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections including acne, respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and certain sexually transmitted infections. It works by preventing bacteria from producing proteins they need to survive and multiply. It should not be taken with dairy products, antacids, or iron supplements, as these reduce its absorption.
