DOXYBEN

DOXYBEN is a high-quality water-soluble veterinary antibiotic formulation developed for the effective treatment of gastrointestinal and respiratory infections in livestock and poultry. The advanced combination of Doxycycline HCl, Tylosin Tartrate, Colistin Sulfate, and Bromhexine provides broad-spectrum antibacterial action together with mucolytic support to improve respiratory health and infection recovery.

Composition

Each kilogram contains:
Tylosin Tartrate – 100 g
Doxycycline HCl – 200 g

Description

The combination of tylosin and doxycycline provides additive antibacterial activity. Doxycycline belongs to the tetracycline group and acts bacteriostatically against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including Bordetella, Campylobacter, E. coli, Haemophilus, Pasteurella, Salmonella, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus species. It is also effective against Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, and Rickettsia species. Doxycycline inhibits bacterial protein synthesis and has a strong affinity for lung tissue, making it highly suitable for respiratory infections.

Tylosin is a macrolide antibiotic with bacteriostatic activity against several Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including Campylobacter, Pasteurella, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Treponema species, and Mycoplasma.

Bromhexine and its metabolite ambroxol are widely used for their mucolytic properties. They help stimulate surfactant release, normalize mucus production, and facilitate expectoration to improve respiratory function.

Colistin is a polymyxin antibiotic with bactericidal activity against Gram-negative bacteria including E. coli, Haemophilus, and Salmonella species. It disrupts bacterial cell membranes and neutralizes endotoxins produced by Gram-negative bacteria.

Indications

DOXYBEN is indicated for the treatment of gastrointestinal and respiratory infections caused by tylosin and doxycycline sensitive micro-organisms including Bordetella, Campylobacter, Chlamydia, E. coli, Haemophilus, Mycoplasma, Pasteurella, Rickettsia, Salmonella, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Treponema species in calves, goats, poultry, and sheep.
