HEALTH EFFECTS: INHALATION: ACUTE EXPOSURE: OXYTETRACYCLINE HYDROCHLORIDE: No data available. Dusts may irritate mucous membranes. CHRONIC EXPOSURE: OXYTETRACYCLINE HYDROCHLORIDE: No data available. SKIN CONTACT: ACUTE EXPOSURE: OXYTETRACYCLINE HYDROCHLORIDE: No data available. However, oxytetracycline may cause skin irritation in some individuals. There is a possibility of sensitization reactions in individuals who have exhibited hypersensitivity to tetracyclines. CHRONIC EXPOSURE: OXYTETRACYCLINE HYDROCHLORIDE: When used topically, oxytetracycline hydrochloride may cause sensitization. However, repeated oral exposures to oxytetracycline has produced dermatitis, photo-onycholysis and porphyria-like cutaneous changes. EYE CONTACT: ACUTE EXPOSURE: OXYTETRACYCLINE HYDROCHLORIDE: No data available. However 1% tetracycline in an ointment caused no detectable injury to rabbit's eyes. CHRONIC EXPOSURE: OXYTETRACYCLINE HYDROCHLORIDE: No data available. INGESTION: ACUTE EXPOSURE: OXYTETRACYCLINE HYDROCHLORIDE: A dose of 6696 mg/kg was lethal in mice. Tetracyclines may cause nausea, gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, abdominal pain, esophageal ulcers, epigastric pain and burning, diarrhea, dysphagia, enterocolitis, anorexia, uremia, pancytopenia, acidosis, hyperkalemia, and cardiac arrhythmias. Large oral doses may cause hypersensitivity, phototoxic, nephrotoxic, and hepatotoxic reactions in humans previously exposed to tetracyclines. CHRONIC EXPOSURE: OXYTETRACYCLINE HYDROCHLORIDE: In 14 day feed studies, a reduction in mean body weights and feed consumption was noted in rats and mice at 100,000 ppm. The study indicated that males were more sensitive than females to the effects; no deaths were reported. In 13 week studies, mean body weight reduction was noted in mice at 50,000 ppm. No deaths occurred but a fatty metamorphosis of the liver was observed in male rats. In a 2 year study, no significant toxic effect was noted, nor was survival affected. However, pheochromocytomas of the adrenal gland occurred with a positive trend in male rats and an increased incidence of adenomas of the pituitary gland in female rats was recorded. An increased incidence of mammary adenofibromas was observed in female rats. The average survival time for rats receiving oxytetracycline hydrochloride was 11% greater than that of the controls. Reproductive effects have been reported in animals. Use of oxytetracyclines is associated with 3 kinds of renal disease: Acute non- oliguric renal failure in persons with pancreatitis or fatty liver; uremia, in persons with previously impaired renal function; and a falconi-like syndrome, usually associated with outdated or degraded tetracyclines. Tetracyclines tend to be deposited in the bones and the teeth at sites of active calcification. Prolonged use has caused discoloration of the teeth and a 40% depression of bone growth in neonates, infants and children. Sensitization reactions may occur, characterized by burning of the eyes, jaundice, fatty liver, cheilosis, glossitis, pruritus, conjunctivitis, dermatitis, eosinophilia, leukocytosis, thrombocytopenic puppura, and photosensitivity manifested by exaggerated sunburn. Cross-sensitization is common among the various tetracyclines. In persons with impaired renal function, high serum levels of tetracycline may lead to azotemia, hyperphosphatemia, acidosis, and in infants tense bulging of the fontanels. Tetracyclines may cause benign intracranial hypertension with papilledema and retinal hemorrhages; this may occur more frequently in children than adults. Pregnant women appear to be more susceptible to severe hepatic damage. Tetracyclines may interfere with Vitamin K synthesis and blood coagulation. Repeated use of antibiotics may lead to the development of vaginal, oral, pharyngeal, intestinal and systemic suprainfections due to overgrowth of organisms not affected by the antibiotic agent. In some cases, these organisms produce toxins that cause severe vomiting, diarrhea and circulatory collapse.
