Doxycycline Hyclate

Composition
Doxycycline hyclate

Description
Doxycycline belongs to the group of tetracyclines and has bacteriostatic action against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, like Staphylococcus spp., Diplococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus spp., Haemophilus influenza, E. coli, Pneumococcus, Bacillus anthracis, Clostridium tetani and Cl. perfringens, Listeria monocytogenes, Actinomyces spp., Enterobacter spp, Klebsiella spp., Salmonella sp., Shigella spp. and Yersinia spp. Doxycycline is also active against Mycoplasma spp., Rickettsiae and Chlamydia spp. After oral administration, doxycycline is well absorbed and results in a fast active blood level, which remains high for a long period (due to the relatively long half- time value of doxycycline).
