Bayfluxy® 32%

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 for the control and treatment of infectious disease caused by susceptible organisms to oxytetracycline, especially in cases of infection associated with pain, inflammation and fever, and also respiratory infections caused by Pasteurella spp., acute mastitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus and coli-forms in cattle and is used as an adjuvant therapy in the treatment of metritis and gastrointestinal infections.

Mechanism of action:

Tetracyclines generally act as bacteriostatic antibiotics and inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 30S ribosomal subunits of susceptible organisms, thereby preventing binding to those ribosomes of aminoacyl transfer-RNA. Also, it seems that these antibiotics are reversibly attached to the 50S ribosomal subunits and additionally alter in the permeability of the cell membrane. In high concentrations, tetracyclines can also inhibit protein synthesis in mammalian cells.

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