Doxycycline hyclate 600 mg/g
Do not use in cases of known hypersensitivity to doxycycline or other tetracyclines.
Do not use in animals with hepatic disorders.
Do not use in case of known resistance to tetracyclines.
Tetracyclines can cause photosensitivity and allergic reactions. If suspected adverse reactions occur, treatment should be discontinued.
Administration: to be administered orally in drinking water to individuals or to groups.
To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing.
Dosage: the dose is 10 mg active substance/kg body weight/day, 5-8 consecutive days.
The amount of Doxicol 60% (AD) will be calculated based on the Total Body Weight (TBW) of the treated herd and the Total Water Consumption (TWC) of the herd in 24 hours using the formula:
10 = dose (mg)/ kg b.w.
600 = mg de doxycycline/ 1 g Doxicol 60 % powder
The medicated water should be the only source of drinking water, throughout the treatment period.
The intake of medicated water depends on the clinical condition of the animals. In order to obtain the correct dose, the concentration of doxycycline has to be adjusted accordingly. Medicated water must be renewed every 24 hours.
The product must be well diluted and / or homogenized in drinking water in order to achieve a uniform dispersion. Water consumption must be monitored in order to guarantee the adequate dose.
If the water consumption does not correspond to the quantities for which the recommended concentrations have been calculated, the DOXICOL 60% concentration should be adjusted so that the animals assimilate the recommended dose, otherwise another medication should be considered.
