Composition
Each 1 ml contains:
- Doxycycline hydrochloride 200 mg
Pharmacological Properties
Doxydad 20% contains doxycycline, a broad-spectrum antibiotic from the tetracycline group. It is well-known for its excellent absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, as well as its high lipid solubility, which ensures deeper and more efficient penetration into bacterial cells.
Doxycycline is more potent than earlier tetracyclines and retains its efficacy even in the presence of calcium in feed, making it a reliable choice for treating systemic and localized infections in animals.
