Prolonged use of oxytetracycline hydrochloride with glucosamine in twenty-five patients for nonspecific complications associated with pulmonary tuberculosis.

During a previous study1 we had used oxytetracycline in conjunction with other antituberculosis drugs for the treatment of tuberculous infection. This study proved thai oxytetracycline may be employed to great advantage as an ancillary drug along with isoniazid, streptomycin or viomycin. While using oxytetracycline in this way, and over a considerable period of time, we were impressed with its apparent lack of toxicity and also with an apparent reduction in secondary nonspecific complications such as sinus infections, bronchial conditions and the like.
