May be used for topical or localized infections where both antifungal and antibacterial coverage is needed, such as certain eye infections, wound care, or as directed by a healthcare provider for specific multi-pathogen infections.

Amphotericin B works by binding to fungal cell membranes and creating pores that cause cell death, while tetracycline inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by blocking aminoacyl-tRNA attachment to ribosomes, providing complementary antimicrobial coverage.

Use only as prescribed; avoid during pregnancy and in children under 8 years old; tetracycline component may cause photosensitivity; complete the full course even if symptoms improve; consult provider about potential drug interactions, especially with antacids, blood thinners, and other antibiotics.
