Overview Of Tetracycline

Common Medication Alternatives

The medication alternatives to tetracycline vary depending on why the patient needs to take an antibiotic. For instance, patients with severe acne may be prescribed another oral antibiotic, like doxycycline. It is also common for acne patients to use topical antibiotic creams, such as a clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide ointment. Other alternatives include penicillin if patients are sensitive to tetracycline, as well as erythromycin and minocycline. Alternatives for this antibiotic when patients have brucellosis include some of the mentioned antibiotics, like doxycycline, as well as ciprofloxacin and rifampin. Of course, patients cannot usually take more than one of these antibiotics at a time, since there is a risk of interactions.
