TTC have high affinity to Calcium hence distributed to bones
1 answer
Yes, that is correct. TTC (tetracycline) antibiotics have a high affinity for calcium, which means they have a strong attraction to calcium ions. This property allows them to bind to calcium-rich areas, such as bones and teeth. In fact, TTC antibiotics can accumulate in bone tissue and be incorporated into growing bones, making them useful for treating conditions like osteomyelitis or Lyme disease. However, this affinity for calcium can also have side effects, such as tooth discoloration in children or weakened bones with long-term use.
