Product Details
Composition
Contains per ml:
- Oxytetracycline (as hydrochloride) — 100 mg
Product Description
Oxy 10 LA Injection contains oxytetracycline, a tetracycline-class veterinary antibiotic with broad-spectrum bacteriostatic activity against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Oxytetracycline works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, helping control respiratory, gastrointestinal, and systemic bacterial infections commonly found in livestock production systems.
On many farms, I often see respiratory disease outbreaks increase during seasonal weather changes, transportation stress, overcrowding, poor ventilation, or weak sanitation management.
Oxytetracycline products are widely used in practical livestock medicine because of their broad antibacterial coverage and flexible application across multiple livestock species.

- Animals with severe renal impairment
- Animals with severe hepatic impairment
- Animals hypersensitive to tetracyclines
Avoid concurrent administration with:
- Penicillins
- Cephalosporins
- Quinolones
- Cycloserine
Side Effects
Possible side effects may include:
- Local reactions after intramuscular injection
- Temporary injection-site irritation
- Tooth discoloration in young animals
- Hypersensitivity reactions
Most local reactions disappear within a few days.
Withdrawal Period
| Product | Withdrawal Time |
|---|---|
| Meat | 12 days |
| Milk | 5 days |
Withdrawal periods should always be respected carefully before animal products enter the food chain.
How Withdrawal Periods Affect Meat and Milk Safety
Storage
- Protect from light
- Store below recommended temperatures
- Keep container tightly closed
- Store in a cool dry place
Proper storage conditions are especially important in hot-climate livestock regions to maintain veterinary medicine stability and antibacterial effectiveness.
How to Store Veterinary Medicines in Hot Climates
Precautions
- Use only under veterinary guidance
- Avoid overdosing
- Respect withdrawal periods carefully
- Use sterile injection equipment
- Monitor animals for adverse reactions
- Avoid incompatible antibiotic combinations
Good ventilation, stress reduction, farm sanitation, and clean water systems are also important for reducing bacterial disease outbreaks in livestock operations.
