Bayfluxy^® 32%

Oxytetracycline (dihydrate) 30%+ Flunixin (meglumine) 2%

Sterile injectable solution

Therapeutically classification: Antibiotic and NSAIDs

Composition: Each ml contains:

Oxytetracycline (dihydrate)          300 mg

Flunixin (meglumine)                    20 mg

Target species: Cattle

Indications:

Bayfluxy^® is used in the treatment of infections susceptible to tetracycline, especially associated with pain, inflammation and fever. Bayfluxy^® is used in the treatment of respiratory infections especially caused by Pasteurella spp., acute mastitis caused by Staphylococcus spp. and coli-forms. It is also used as a supportive drug in the treatment of metritis and gastrointestinal infections.

Mechanism of action:

Tetracyclines generally act as bacteriostatic antibiotics and inhibit protein synthesis by binding to 30S ribosomal subunits of susceptible organisms, thereby preventing binding to those ribosomes of aminoacyl transfer-RNA. Tetracyclines also are believed to reversibly bind to 50S ribosomal subunits and additionally alter cytoplasmic membrane permeability in susceptible organisms. In high concentrations, tetracyclines can also inhibit protein synthesis by mammalian cells.

Flunixin meglumine is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxanes by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzyme and thereby exerts its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-endotoxin and antipyretic activity.
