Possible Interaction: Tetracycline and Iron, Dietary

“Thus even small doses of iron taken simultaneously should be avoided during tetracycline treatment.”

“Numerous drugs, including tetracycline and cholestyramine, bind iron and decrease its absorption.”

“Clearly iron by mouth must not be prescribed while a patient is receiving a tetracycline.”

“Thus the interaction between iron and tetracycline , as a result of which neither is absorbed, is likely to be common and could lead to failure of antibiotic therapy.”

“The obtained IBHC bearing defect structure, dispersed iron and large amounts of surface organic functional groups, acts as an outstanding modified biomass carbonaceous material for catalyzing PS to improve the removal efficiency of TC as high as 99.72%.”

“The presence of iron also inhibited the transfer of tetracycline.”

“The analysis was also performed over BiOI, which proves that Fe has a profound effect on TC degradation as Fe(II) tends to trigger oxidation–reduction by utilizing the chelate formation tendency of TC.”

“The uniform dispersion of Fe within Fe–BiOI modulates electronic properties as well as increases the exposure of Fe ions with TC , thereby higher degradation efficiency of TC.”

“The ability of tetracycline to form strong complexes with Al and Fe will increase the solubility of these minerals.”

“The biosynthesis of tetracycline was inhibited either by free iron at concentrations above 1–2 μmol l−1, or by chelated iron provided by the siderophores of this bacterial strain.”
