Oxy L.A. Inj. 100 ml , Oxytetracycline dihydrate 200 mg

COMPOSITION:
Per ml. solution: Oxytetracycline dihydrate 200 mg

DESCRIPTION:
Oxytetracycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic with bacteriostatic action against a large number of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms (such as streptococci, staphylococci, Pasteurella spp, Brucella spp, Corynebacteria spp, Erysipelothrix, Coliformi, Salmonella) and Rickettsiae, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia and some protozoa. The action against Pseudomonas, Proteus and Klebsiella spp is low.
Applied parenterally, oxytetracycline quickly penetrates the blood and tissues, but its advantage is its extremely long therapeutic effect. Oxytetracycline acts synergistically with polymyxin.

SIDE EFFECTS:

INCOMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER MEDICINES OR SUBSTANCES:
Oxytetracycline is incompatible with preparations containing polyvalent cations (Ca++, Mg++, Fe++), due to their known interference with tetracycline.
