Answer:
Tetracycline is an antibiotic. Space out your doses during the day and make sure you continue to take the tablets until you finish the course prescribed for you.
The absorption of tetracycline is affected by food and dairy products. It is important that you take the tablets either one hour before a meal, or wait until two hours afterwards. Do not drink milk during the two hours before you take the tablets, or for two hours afterwards.
Swallow the tablets with plenty of water. Sit upright or stand up as you take the tablets.
