ProDox 50

Doxycycline belongs to the group of tetracyclines and acts bacteriostatic

against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria like Bordetella,

Campylobacter, E. coli, Haemophilus, Pasteurella, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. Doxycycline is also active against Chlamydia, Mycoplasma and Rickettsia spp. The action of doxycycline is based on inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis. Doxycycline has great affinity to the lungs and is therefore especially useful for treatment of bacterial respiratory infections.
