Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take Tetoxia with food?
It is best to take Tetoxia on an empty stomach for better absorption. However, if it causes stomach upset, you can take it with a light, non-dairy meal.
How long does it take for Tetoxia to start working?
Tetoxia usually begins to work within a few days, but it is important to complete the full course of treatment to prevent bacterial resistance and ensure the infection is fully cleared.
Can I take Tetoxia if I am pregnant?
No, Tetoxia should not be used during pregnancy, as it can cause permanent tooth discoloration and affect fetal bone development. Consult your doctor for alternative treatments.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Tetoxia?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double up on doses.
Can Tetoxia cause permanent tooth discoloration?
Yes, prolonged use of Tetoxia in children under 8 years old or during pregnancy can cause permanent discoloration of teeth. It should not be used in these populations.
Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Tetoxia Work?
Tetoxia works by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit in bacteria, preventing the synthesis of proteins needed for bacterial growth. This bacteriostatic action helps to control the infection, allowing the immune system to clear the bacteria from the body.
Common Dosages
- 250 mg oral tablets
- 500 mg oral tablets
Typical Dosing
- For bacterial infections: The typical dose is 250 mg to 500 mg every 6 hours, depending on the severity of the infection.
- For acne: A lower dose of 250 mg to 500 mg once or twice daily may be prescribed, with treatment duration depending on the patient’s response.

Who Shouldn't Take Tetoxia?

Advice From The Pharmacist
- Take Tetoxia on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals, for better absorption. Avoid taking it with dairy products, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the medication.
- Do not lie down immediately after taking Tetoxia, as this can cause irritation to the esophagus.
- Avoid antacids and supplements containing calcium, magnesium, or iron within 2 hours before or after taking Tetoxia, as they can interfere with absorption.
- Complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to prevent bacterial resistance.
- Use sunscreen or wear protective clothing, as Tetoxia can make you more sensitive to sunlight.
