Pharmaceutical Ingredient:Doxycycline Hyclate
Mechanism of Action:Doxycycline hinders bacterial growth by preventing their growth and multiplication. This leads to increased symptoms and reduced infection rates. Doxycycline's broad-spectrum action, which is particularly beneficial for treating respiratory tract infections and tick borne infections, makes it a preferred choice for treating certain bacterial infections.
Pharmaceutical Formulations:Doxycycline is available in various formulations, including tablet, capsule, and oral suspension. Each formulation may contain different dosages of the antibiotic.
Dosage Formulations:Doxycycline is available in dosage strengths ranging from 25 mg to 400 mg. The dosage strength for most veterinary medications is a single 50 mg tablet. Dosages of veterinary medications may vary from 100 mg to 800 mg. The dosage strength of veterinary oral suspension is typically 50 mg/5 mL.
Contraindications:Doxycycline should not be used in animals with hypersensitivity to doxycycline or other tetracyclines. It is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to any of the tetracyclines listed. Doxycycline is not indicated for use in pregnant or lactating females unless clearly stated on the packaging.
Special Precautions:Doxycycline should not be administered to patients allergic to doxycycline hyclate or any other tetracycline, including tetracycline. It is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to tetracycline, other tetracyclines, or any other ingredients of the product. Doxycycline is excreted in human stomach juices. It is also excreted in human breast milk.
Side Effects:Some veterinary medications can cause side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Serious side effects, though rare, include allergic reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and drug hypersensitivity. Serious side effects, though rare, can occur and require medical attention. Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences any of the following side effects: rash, drowsiness, lethargy, lethargy, drowsiness, confusion, palpitations, or an allergic reaction.
Cautions:Use of doxycycline in animals with impaired liver or kidney function is not recommended. It can be toxic if given in high doses or in inappropriate combinations. Do not give doxycycline to a pet without medical advice. Doxycycline should not be given to animals with a history of gastrointestinal disease, liver disease, or hypersensitivity to tetracyclines.
Interactions:The occurrence of side effects in some animals with tetracyclines, such as those described above, can increase the risk of side effects on the central nervous system. Animal CNS effects may include tremors, confusion, impaired coordination, coma, and death. Tetracyclines, including doxycycline, can also cause reduced white blood cell counts in some animals. It is generally not recommended to give tetracycline to pregnant or nursing animals unless clearly stated on the packaging.
Warnings:Doxycycline should not be given to pregnant or nursing animals. Doxycycline can cause decreased white blood cell counts in some animals, possibly through decreased effectiveness of the tetracyclines. Animal CNS effects may include abnormal heart rhythm, seizures, and lethargy.
