Qs……………………………….………………..………………….…1g DESCRIPTION White colour powder PHARMACODYNAMIC Oxytetracycline (OTC) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. Its mode of action is bacteriostatic by inhibition of prokaryotic protein synthesis at the ribosomal level. It is active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms, _Mycoplasma_ spp., _Chlamydia_ spp., _Leptospir_ _a_ spp. and Rickettsias. It has little activity against _Salmonella_ spp., _Escherichia _ _coli_, Enterobacter and _Klebsiella_ spp. and has essentially no activity against _Pseudomonas_ spp., _Proteus_ spp. and yeasts. PHARMACOKINETIC Due to the amphoteric nature of OTC, oral bioavailability is low (<10%). OTC has excellent distribution properties with a Volume of Distribution (Vd) exceeding 1.2 L/kg. The compound tends to concentrate in the lung, liver and kidney. OTC undergoes enterohepatic circulation. It does not appear to be metabolised to any significant degree. The compound is mainly excreted as the parent molecule primarily in the urine but also in the faeces. INDICATION For use as an aid in the control of respiratory diseases caused by bacteria sensitive to oxytetracycline.
