What is Oxytetracycline HCl?
Active Ingredients: Oxytetracycline HCl
Oxytetracycline HCl Injection is an antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of bacterial diseases in livestock animals like cows, goats, horses, sheep and pigs. In cattle, it is indicated for the treatment of infections such as pneumonia, shipping fever, foot rot, diphtheria, and bacterial enteritis.
Oxytetracycline is also indicated for the treatment of bacterial enteritis and leptospirosis and the prevention of atrophic rhinitis in swine. This antibiotic may be used to treat anthrax and many other types of infections in a wide range of animals.
Oxytetracycline HCl is a salt of oxytetracycline. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic in the tetracycline family, which has been derived from the fermented product of Streptomyces rimosus. Oxytetracycline works by inhibiting protein synthesis in the bacteria. It is active against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Diplococcus pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli. It also shows action against Chlamydia, Rickettsia, and Spirochetes.
It is important to note that this formulation of oxytetracycline is for veterinary purposes only. Oxytetracycline HCl has a longer shelf life and is more stable when stored properly in an aqueous solution. The salt formulation of oxytetracycline is easier to dissolve in water.
