Answers:
Oxytetracycline is a very old and now seldom used drug!. It has probably been superseded by newer drugs, taken fewer times a day and with less side effects, for all of it's old indications!. It should be taken whole on an empty stomach!. It is not possible to comment on 'ow long isit untill it works' ( English translation: How long is is until it works), without knowing the condition it has been prescribed for!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Heya
Oxytetracycline stops bacteria from functioning and so stops numbers from increasing
Before taking oxytetracycline make sure your doctor or pharmacist knows:
If you are pregnant, trying for a baby or breast-feeding!.
If the medicine is for a child under 12 years of age!.
If you suffer from porphyria (a type of blood disease)!.
If you suffer from kidney problems!.
If you are taking anticoagulants for example warfarin!.
Swallow oxytetracycline tablets whole (not crushed or chewed), with plenty of water, while sitting or standing!.
Do not take any indigestion remedies, iron or zinc supplements at the same time as this medicine!. Take them at least two hours before or two hours after a dose of oxytetracycline!.
It is important not to lie down for at least thirty minutes after taking oxytetracycline tablets, so that the tablet can move as swiftly as possible into the stomach!.
Try to take this medicine at regular intervals, as directed by your doctor, to keep a steady level of oxytetracycline in your body!.
Try not to miss any doses!. If you do miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is nearly time for your next dose, in which case leave out the missed dose!. Never take two doses at the same time to compensate!.
If you are taking oxytetracycline to treat acne, it is quite normal to continue treatment for several months!.
Even if your condition has improved it is important to complete the prescribed course of oxytetracycline!. If you stop taking this medicine too soon your infection is likely to return and could be more difficult to treat!.
If you have to have any blood tests, tell the person carrying out the test that you are being treated with oxytetracycline!.
Some people develop thrush after taking a course of antibiotics!. If you think you have thrush speak to your doctor or pharmacist!.
Important: Oral contraceptives may be less effective while you are taking oxytetracycline and unplanned pregnancies have occurred!. In addition to taking the contraceptive pill, use a barrier method of contraception (e!.g!. condoms) while you are taking oxytetracycline and for at least seven days after your course of oxytetracycline has finished!. If these seven days run into a 'pill-free' week, start taking the next packet of contraceptives without leaving a break!. If you are taking the type of contraceptive pill that is taken every day or if you need any further advice, speak to your doctor or pharmacist!.

It makes birth control pills less effective, so if you are using birth control use a 2nd form of birth control while on the meds & after!.
Also it makes you very sensitive to sunlight so protect your skin!.
