Tetracycline Contraindications and Precautions

Tetracycline is contraindicated in patients with known tetracyclines hypersensitivity. Topical tetracycline preparations contain sodium sulfites. Oral dosage forms may contain tartrazine dye. These preparations should be used with caution in patients with a known sulfite hypersensitivity or tartrazine dye hypersensitivity. Sensitivity reactions are more common in asthmatic than in non-asthmatic patients.

Tetracycline is classified pregnancy category D. All tetracyclines have a detrimental effect on the skeletal development and bone growth of the fetus or child. They should not be used in the second half of pregnancy unless benefits from treatment outweigh the risks to the fetus, and their use should be considered only with extreme caution. Tetracyclines also have a serious effect on the dentin and enamel of developing teeth, causing permanent yellow or brown discoloration and enamel hypoplasia. Except when other therapy is ineffective, use in pediatrics, especially in children under 8 years, should be avoided.
