The preparation contains tetracycline - a bacteriostatic antibiotic from the group of tetracyclines and nystatin - polyene antibiotic, which exerts a fungistatic effect on yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida. Included in the nystatin can reduce the number of side effects of tetracycline.
Tetracycline - disrupts the formation of a complex between transport RNA and ribosome, which leads to a violation of protein synthesis.
It is active against gram-positive microorganisms - Staphylococcus spp. (incl. Staphylococcus aureus, including penicillinase-producing strains), Streptococcus spp. (some strains, at t. h. Streptococcus pneumoniae), Actinomyces spp., Listeria spp. Bacillus anthracis, Clostridium spp .;
- gram-negative microorganisms - Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus ducreyi, Bordetella pertussis, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter spp. (including Enterobacter aerogenes). Klebsiella spp., Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Yersinia pestis, Bartonella bacilliformis, Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio fetus, Rickettsia spp., Borrelia burgdorferi, Brucella spp. (at combinations with streptomycin).
TO tetracycline are stable microorganisms: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus spp. Scrratia
spp., most strains Bacteroides spp. mushrooms, small viruses, beta-hemolytic streptococci groups A (including 44 % strains Streptococcus pyogenes and 74 % strains Streptococcus faecalis).
