Product Details
Composition

- Oxytetracycline — 50 mg
- Solvents ad — up to 1 ml
Product Description
Oxy 5 LA Injection contains oxytetracycline, a tetracycline-class veterinary antibiotic with broad-spectrum antibacterial 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, bacterial disease outbreaks often increase during periods of transportation stress, overcrowding, poor ventilation, sudden weather changes, weak sanitation systems, or rainy seasons.
This long-acting formulation is commonly selected by veterinarians and livestock farms because one injection can provide antibacterial activity for approximately two days, improving practical treatment efficiency in commercial farm management.

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 markets to maintain veterinary medicine stability and antibacterial effectiveness.
How to Store Veterinary Medicines in Hot Climates
Precautions
- Use only under veterinary guidance
- Follow proper dosage recommendations
- Avoid overdosing
- Respect withdrawal periods carefully
- Use sterile injection equipment
- Monitor animals for adverse reactions
Good farm hygiene, proper ventilation, stress reduction, and clean drinking water are also important for reducing bacterial disease outbreaks in livestock operations.
