How Cortecycline Products work
Tetracycline + Hydrocortisone is a combination of two medicines: Tetracycline + Hydrocortisone1 and Tetracycline + Hydrocortisone2. Tetracycline + Hydrocortisone1 is an antibiotic which stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Tetracycline + Hydrocortisone2 is a steroid. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy.
