Product Details
Composition

- Oxytetracycline — 200 mg
- Solvents ad — up to 1 ml
Product Description
Oxy 20 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, respiratory disease outbreaks often increase during periods of transportation stress, overcrowding, poor ventilation, sudden weather changes, or weak farm sanitation systems.
This long-acting formulation is widely used because one injection can provide antibacterial activity for approximately two days, helping improve treatment efficiency and reduce handling stress on livestock farms.

How Withdrawal Periods Affect Meat and Milk Safety
Storage
- Store below 30°C
- Protect from light
- Store at room temperature
- Keep out of reach of children
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
Good farm sanitation, stress reduction, ventilation improvement, and clean drinking water systems are also important for reducing bacterial disease outbreaks in livestock operations.
