DESCRIPTION:
Doxycycline belongs to the group of tetracyclines and acts
bacteriostatic against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative

Pasteurella, Salmonella, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus spp.
Doxycycline is also active against Chlamydia, Mycoplasma and

bacterial protein synthesis. Doxycycline has a great affinity to
the lungs and is therefore especially useful for treatment of
bacterial respiratory infections.
