Doxacil-Vet®
PowderComposition
Each gram Doxacil Vet powder contains Doxycycline HCl BP equivalent to 100 mg Doxycycline.
Description
Doxacil-Vet contains doxycycline, a member of the tetracycline class of antimicrobials. Doxycycline binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, interfering with the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex. This action inhibits bacterial protein synthesis in growing and multiplying microorganisms, resulting in a bacteriostatic effect, while higher concentrations can achieve bactericidal activity.
