Description:

Oxytetracycline is a both broad-spectrum antibiotic and tetracycline antibiotic, with bacteriostatic action against a large number of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms (like Streptococci, Staphylococci, Pasteurella spp., Brucella spp., Corynebacteria spp., Erysipelothrix, Coliforms, Salmonella), Rickettsiae, Mycoplasmas, Chlamydia, and some protozoa. Activity against Pseudomonas, Proteus- and Klebsiella spp. is low.

Oxytetracycline injection is administered via intramuscular or intravenous injection, which functions by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, effectively stopping bacterial growth. The dosage of administration depends on the severity and type of infection being treated.
