Tetracycline reduces the 
plasma levels of 
atovaquone by about 40%. 
 The manufacturers suggest that parasitaemia should be closely monitored in patients taking atovaquone/proguanil and 
tetracycline. In the UK, they also say that 
tetracycline should be given with caution to patients taking 
atovaquone for Pneumocystis 
pneumonia.
