What is terramicyn?

Terramycin is an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment that is used to treat various types of infections caused by bacteria. This includes eye infections, skin infections, respiratory infections, and urinary tract infections.

The active ingredient in Terramycin is oxytetracycline, which is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits the growth of bacteria by blocking their ability to produce proteins that help them multiply.

Terramycin comes in an ointment form that is applied directly to the affected area. The typical dosage is to apply a small amount of ointment to the area 1-2 times per day.

Terramycin is generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience side effects such as skin irritation or allergic reactions. It is important to talk to a doctor or pharmacist before using Terramycin if you have a history of allergies or other health problems. Additionally, Terramycin may interact with other medications, so it is important to disclose any other medications you are taking.
