On this episode, I discuss how the tetracyclines impact bacterial protein synthesis.

I also remind you of several medications that fall in the tetracycline class.  Doxycycline is by far the medication I see used the most.

You’ll also learn about common side effects like GI upset and photosensitivity.

I cover why this class of medication is typically avoided in pediatrics and pregnancy.
