WhatsApp Order

Oxytetracycline HCL BP is a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic used in human and veterinary medicine. It inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, thus preventing the growth and multiplication of susceptible bacteria. Oxytetracycline HCL is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as some protozoa. It is commonly employed to treat respiratory, urinary, and skin infections, and is also used extensively in veterinary applications to control infectious diseases in livestock and poultry.
