GMP Supply Veterinary Antibiotics Doxycycline Plus Colistin 50% for Systemic Infections
♦ Doxycycline is a broad spectrum antibiotic with a bacteriostatic or bacteriocidal action depending on the dose used. It has excellent absorption and tissue penetration, superior to most other tetracyclines. It is active against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, rickettsiae, mycoplasmas, chlamydia, actinomyces and some protozoa.
♦ Colistin is a bactericidal antibiotic active against Gram-negative bacteria (eg. E. coli, Salmonella, Pseudomonas). There is very low occurence of resistance. The absorption from the gastro-intestinal tract is poor, resulting in high concentrations in the intestines for treatment of bowel infections.
♦ The association of both antibiotics shows excellent activity against systemic infections, as well as against gastro-intestinal infections. Therefore, DOXYCOL-50 is especially recommended for mass medication under circumstances that need a broad prophylactic or metaphylactic approach (eg. stress situations).
