Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Demeclocycline (calcium) is an orally active tetracycline antibiotic that inhibits the binding of aminoacyl tRNA by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, thereby affecting protein synthesis. Demeclocycline (calcium) exhibits antibacterial activity against a broad spectrum of bacterial infections[1][2]. | [References]
