Composition
Each 1 g contains:
- Doxycycline Hydrochloride – 200 mg
- Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride – 500 mg
Pharmacological Properties
DOX-DAD-OX combines two powerful tetracycline antibiotics to provide rapid and sustained antibacterial action.
Doxycycline is known for its high lipid solubility, allowing superior absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and deeper penetration into bacterial cells. It is more potent than traditional tetracycline and remains effective even in the presence of dietary calcium.
Oxytetracycline offers broad-spectrum activity with prolonged efficacy, targeting a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria such as Bordetella bronchiseptica, Actinomyces pyogenes, Pasteurella spp., Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., and E. coli. It also acts against Mycoplasma, Rickettsiae, Chlamydia, certain protozoa, and spirochetes.
