Doxycycline Oral Suspension for Cats and Dogs

Description

Doxycycline Oral Suspension is a broad-spectrum antibiotic commonly prescribed by veterinarians to treat bacterial infections in pets, including respiratory, urinary, and skin infections. This easy-to-administer liquid formula is ideal for pets who struggle with tablets or capsules, offering precise dosing for effective treatment.

Active Ingredient

• Doxycycline Monohydrate, 25 mg per 5 mL

Side Effects

Doxycycline may cause gastrointestinal discomfort in dogs, cats, and horses, including nausea, vomiting, reduced appetite, or diarrhea. Administering the medication with food can help minimize these effects.

Pets with light or hairless skin around areas like the nose, eyelids, or ears may experience redness or sunburn if exposed to sunlight.

Important Warnings

• Avoid using doxycycline in animals with known allergies to this drug or other tetracycline medications.
• Use cautiously in pets with liver conditions, as they may be more sensitive to this medication.
• To ensure proper absorption, avoid giving doxycycline with milk, dairy products, calcium, oral antacids, iron, or bismuth subsalicylate. These should be given at least two hours apart from the medication.
• Keep doxycycline out of reach of children and other pets, as overdoses can be dangerous.

Administration Tips

• Follow your veterinarian's dosage instructions carefully. If you have trouble administering the medication, consult your veterinarian for guidance.
• If a dose is missed, give it as soon as you remember. However, if it is close to the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and resume the regular schedule. Do not double up on doses.
