What is TETRACYCLINE?

 

What is tetracycline?

Tetracycline is an antibiotic that fights infection caused by bacteria.



Tetracycline is used to treat many different bacterial infections of the skin, intestines, respiratory tract, urinary tract, genitals, lymph nodes, and other body systems. It is often used in treating severe acne, or sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis, gonorrhea, or chlamydia.

Tetracycline is also used to treat infections you can get from direct contact with infected animals or contaminated food.

In some cases, tetracycline is used when penicillin or another antibiotic cannot be used to treat serious infections such as Anthrax, Listeria, Clostridium, Actinomyces, and others.


Important information

Children younger than 8 years old should not take this medicine.


Using tetracycline during pregnancy could harm the unborn baby or cause permanent tooth discoloration later in the baby's life.


Throw away any unused tetracycline when it expires or when it is no longer needed. Do not take this medicine after the expiration date on the label has passed. Expired tetracycline can cause a dangerous syndrome resulting in damage to the kidneys.



Tetracycline passes into breast milk and may affect bone and tooth development in a nursing baby. Do not take this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.


Avoid exposure to sunlight or artificial UV rays (sunlamps or tanning beds). Tetracycline can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight and sunburn may result. Use a sunscreen (minimum SPF 15) and wear protective clothing if you must be out in the sun.

"I will rather borrow than save up to start a business" -DODTheory

  "Save up or borrow to start a business?" You'll see my personal take... Let's assume there are two young friends who want to do business. Amara and Chioma. Maybe they both wish to start retailing beauty soap. They both go to the wholesaler to get 100pcs of the product to start, each costing ₦50. Totalling ₦5,000. Amara calculated the cost of transportation and other expenses incurred and arrives at a retail price of ₦80 per piece. Targeting a gain of ₦3,000 to cover transportation, and other things including take home. This may take Amara a month to achieve before she would have to restock. Chioma, on the other hand, sells her at ₦52 per piece. In that case, reaching more people because they know it's one of the cheapest rates they can get. In a week, she has effectively sold everything and made a gain of only ₦200. She goes back for restocking and gets more, maybe about 120pcs this time. She sells to maybe 90 of her old customers of last week and 30 new c...

The Difference between Direct Selling and Network Marketing

Image
  Network Marketing and Direct Sales have frequently been mistaken to mean the same thing. In fact, they have more similarities than differences. But it is worthy of note that there is a very vital difference between the two systems of products movement. Most people have erroneously believed that it's just a matter of point of views; if you're looking at the mode of sales of produces, it is called 'direct sales', where as if you're looking at the structure of the business model, you call it network marketing because it is a network. This is not true, as investigation has shown that the difference between both business schemes is more than just point of views. Let's go straight up to the differences, since we probably know the similarities. In this post, I will be talking about the three most obvious differences: 1. PRODUCTS .
