Tetracycline Pills

Broad antibiotic. The fix for cholera and infected wounds.

antibioticessential

What it does

treatment
  • Clears bacterial infections from your system
  • Cures cholera, advanced wound infection and pneumonia
  • Works over several minutes rather than instantly

When to use it

  • You are vomiting and dehydrating after drinking untreated water
  • A wound has turned into a fever with steady health loss
  • A cold or flu has worsened into pneumonia

What it does NOT treat

warning
  • Influenza and the common cold — those are viral
  • Salmonellosis — use Charcoal Tablets and Multivitamins
  • Kuru, which no medication treats
  • Gas poisoning from a contaminated zone
  • Broken bones, bleeding or unconsciousness

Important notes

  • Take a full course over several minutes — one pill is rarely enough
  • Swallowing the whole bottle at once wastes pills without curing faster
  • Keep drinking clean water while the course runs
