Composition: Each 100 ml contains: Oxytetracycline HCL 5.40 gm (Eq. to Oxytetracycline base 5 gm).
Properties:
Oxytetracycline is a broad spectrum antibiotic. It is mainly active against Gram-positive and negative, aerobic and anaerobic. and against mycoplasma, Chlamydia and Rickettsiae. Oxytetracycline has a primarily bacteriostatic activity. Oxytetracycline binds reversibly to the receptor 30S ribosomal fraction, this leads to a blockage of the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA corresponding to the ribosome-mRNA complex site. This results in inhibition of protein synthesis and thus stops the growth of the bacterial culture.
