Terramycin Side Effects, and Drug Interactions - Oxytetracycline
SIDE EFFECTS
Local irritation may be present after intramuscular injection. The injection
should be deep, with care taken not to injure the sciatic nerve nor inject intravascularly.
Gastrointestinal: anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, glossitis,
dysphagia, enterocolitis, and inflammatory lesions (with monilial overgrowth)
in the anogenital region. These reactions have been caused by both the oral
and parenteral administration of tetracyclines.
Skin: maculopapular and erythematous rashes. Exfoliative dermatitis
has been reported but is uncommon. Photosensitivity is discussed above. (See
" WARNINGS ").
Renal toxicity: Rise in BUN has been reported and is apparently
dose related. (See " Warnings ").
Hypersensitivity reactions: Urticaria, angioneurotic edema, anaphylaxis,
anaphylactoid purpura, pericarditis, and exacerbation of systemic lupus erythematosus.
Bulging fontanels in infants and benign intracranial hypertension in adults
have been reported in individuals receiving full therapeutic dosages. These
conditions disappeared rapidly when the drug was discontinued.
Blood: Hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and eosinophilia
have been reported.
When given over prolonged periods, tetracyclines have been reported to produce
brown-black microscopic discoloration of thyroid glands. No abnormalities of
thyroid function studies are known to occur.
