indications thérapeutiques:

A great many of the pathogens involved in cattle diseases are known to be susceptible to oxytetracycline hydrochloride therapy. Many strains of organisms, however, have shown resistance to oxytetracycline. In the case of certain coliforms, streptococci and staphylococci, it may be advisable to conduct culture and sensitivity testing to determine susceptibility of the infecting organism to oxytetracycline. In this manner, the likelihood of successful treatment with Oxytet 100 solution can be determined in advance.

DESCRIPTION
Oxytet 100 (oxytetracycline injection) is a sterile ready-to-use
preparation containing
100 mg/mL oxytetracycline HCl, for administration of the broad
spectrum antibiotic,
oxytetracycline, by injection.
ANTIBIOTIC ACTION OF OXYTETRACYCLINE
Oxytetracycline is effective against a wide range of gram-negative and
gram-positive
organisms that are pathogenic for cattle. The antibiotic is primarily
bacteriostatic in
effect, and is believed to exert its antimicrobial action by the
inhibition of microbial
protein synthesis. The antibiotic activity of oxytetracycline is not
appreciably diminished
in the presence of body fluids, serum or exudates. Since the drugs in
the tetracycline
class have similar antimicrobial spectra, organisms can develop cross
resistance among
them. Oxytetracycline is concentrated by the liver in the bile and
excreted in the urine
and feces at high concentrations and in a biologically active form.
WARNING
Discontinue treatment with Oxytet 100 at least 22 days prior to
slaughter of the animal.
This drug product is not approved for use in female dairy cattle 20
