개요
테트라사이클린은 원형의 단기 작용 테트라사이클린계 항생제입니다. 역사적으로 광범위 항균제로 사용되었으나, 세균 내성 증가로 인해 임상적 역할이 변화하였습니다.
현대 수의학에서:
- 소동물 임상: 감염성 질환의 경우 조직 침투력이 좋고 투여 빈도가 낮은 독시사이클린이 일반적으로 선호됩니다. 그러나 테트라사이클린은 나이아신아마이드와 병용하여 면역 매개성 피부 질환(예: 원판상 홍반성 루푸스, 천포창)을 치료하기 위한 면역 조절 목적으로 자주 사용됩니다.
- 대동물 임상: 일반적으로 옥시테트라사이클린이 선호됩니다.
임상 요점:
- 마이코플라스마, 리케차, 스피로헤타(예: 라임병), 클라미디아와 같은 비정형 병원체에 여전히 효과적입니다.
- 상당한 항염증 및 면역 조절 특성을 지니고 있어 수의 피부과에서 가치가 높습니다.
작용 기전
Tetracycline is a time-dependent, bacteriostatic antibiotic.
- Antimicrobial Action: Reversibly binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit of susceptible organisms → prevents binding of aminoacyl transfer-RNA to the ribosome → inhibits bacterial protein synthesis. It may also bind to the 50S subunit and alter cytoplasmic membrane permeability.
- Immunomodulatory/Anti-inflammatory Action: Suppresses antibody production and neutrophil chemotaxis. Inhibits key inflammatory mediators including lipases, collagenases, prostaglandin synthesis, and the activation of complement component 3.
안전성·주의사항
금기사항
- Hypersensitivity to tetracyclines
- Pregnancy (last half) - retards fetal skeletal development and discolors teeth
- Young, growing animals (unless benefits outweigh risks)
부작용
- Gastrointestinal distress (nausea, vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea)
- Discoloration of developing teeth and bones (yellow/brown/gray)
- Delayed bone growth and healing in young animals
- Superinfections (bacterial or fungal overgrowth)
- Photosensitivity
- Urolith formation (with long-term use in dogs)
- Hepatotoxicity and blood dyscrasias (rare)
- Cats: Colic, fever, hair loss, depression (poorly tolerated)
- Horses: Severe diarrhea (especially if stressed)
- Ruminants: Ruminal microflora depression and stasis (high oral doses)
- Injection site reactions (IM): Local necrosis and yellow staining
주의
Extreme Caution: Pregnancy (Category D). Can cause congenital malformations, embryotoxicity, and discoloration of deciduous teeth.
- Renal/Hepatic Impairment: Use cautiously. Lower dosages and enhanced monitoring are recommended. Avoid concurrent nephrotoxic or hepatotoxic drugs.
- Cats: Do not tolerate oral tetracycline well; monitor closely for adverse effects.
- IV Administration: Rapid IV injection can cause transient collapse and cardiac arrhythmias due to calcium chelation. Administer slowly or pre-treat with IV calcium gluconate if rapid injection is necessary.
약물 상호작용
Tetracyclines may decrease atovaquone levels.
Theoretical antagonism of bactericidal activity, though clinical significance is doubtful.
May increase bioavailability of digoxin, potentially causing toxicity that persists for months.
Chelation occurs, significantly decreasing the absorption of tetracycline. Separate doses by at least 1-2 hours.
Concomitant use can cause fatal nephrotoxicity.
May impair oral absorption of tetracycline; separate dosing by at least 2 hours.
May depress plasma prothrombin activity; anticoagulant dosage adjustment may be needed.
모니터링
- Adverse effects (GI signs, injection site reactions)
- Clinical efficacy
- Periodic renal, hepatic, and hematologic evaluations (with long-term use or in susceptible patients)
약동학
반감기
흡수
Readily absorbed after oral administration in fasting animals (bioavailability ~60-80%). Food or dairy products can significantly reduce absorption by 50% or more. Erratically and poorly absorbed after IM administration.
분포
Widely distributed to heart, kidney, lungs, muscle, pleural fluid, bronchial secretions, bile, saliva, urine, synovial fluid, and aqueous/vitreous humor. Poor penetration into CSF. Crosses the placenta and distributes into milk. Volume of distribution is ~1.2-1.3 L/kg in small animals and 1-2.5 L/kg in cattle.
대사
Apparently not metabolized.
배설
Eliminated unchanged primarily via glomerular filtration. Excreted into the GI tract via biliary and nonbiliary routes (may become inactive after chelation with fecal materials). Patients with impaired renal function can accumulate the drug.
과다투여
Tetracyclines are generally well tolerated after acute overdoses.
- Oral Overdose: Most likely associated with GI disturbances (vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea). Monitor fluids and electrolytes if severe emesis/diarrhea occurs.
- Chronic Overdose: May lead to drug accumulation and nephrotoxicity.
- Ruminants: High oral doses can cause ruminal microflora depression and ruminoreticular stasis.
- IV Overdose/Rapid Injection: Rapid IV injection can induce transient collapse and cardiac arrhythmias, presumably due to chelation with intravascular calcium ions. If rapid IV administration is necessary, pre-treatment with intravenous calcium gluconate is recommended by some clinicians.
