  • Pharmacological properties

    Doxycycline is a semisynthetic antibiotic that belongs to the 3rd generation of the tetracycline group and is effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microbes including Escherichia coli., Haemophilus spp., Pasteurella spp., Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Leptospira spp., Chlamidia spp, Clostridium perfringens, Listeria monocytogenes, Corynebacterium pyogenes, Rickettsiae spp.; as well as Mycoplasma spp.

    Mode of action: doxycycline inhibits bacterial growth by inhibiting enzymes that act as catalysts for binding aminoacetyl-RNA to ribosomal acceptors, thus causing blocking of interactions between aminoacyl-tRNA with mRNA and disruption of microbial cell protein synthesis. After parenteral administration of the drug, doxycycline is quickly and fully absorbed from the injection site and reaches its therapeutic concentration in 0.5 to 1 hour. It easily penetrates into most animal organs and tissues and undergoes metabolism in the liver, forming inactive metabolites. The drug is eliminated mostly with bile and partially with urine.
