Chlortetracycline is a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic, historically used for bacterial infections in humans and animals. It is less commonly used in human medicine today due to resistance and newer alternatives. Its primary use is now in veterinary medicine and as a growth promotant in animal feed.
Estimated pharmacokinetic parameters based on class characteristics and sparse historical data; no direct modern clinical PK study in humans was identified.
