Tetracycline, sold under various brand names, is an antibiotic in the tetracyclines family of medications, used to treat a number of infections,[3] including acne, cholera, brucellosis, plague, malaria, and syphilis.[3] It is available in oral and topical formulations.[4][5]

Common side effects include vomiting, diarrhea, rash, and loss of appetite.[3] Other side effects include poor tooth development if used by children less than eight years of age, kidney problems, and sunburning easily.[3] Use during pregnancy may harm the baby.[3] It works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria.[3]

Tetracycline was patented in 1953[6] and was approved for prescription use in 1954.[7][8] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[9] Tetracycline is available as a generic medication.[3] Tetracycline was originally made from bacteria of the genus Streptomyces.[3]
