Batoxil LA is a sterile Oxytetracycline solution for injection (200 mg/mL). Bacteriostatic Antimicrobial, specially formulated with agents and vehicles that give its formulation a prolonged effect.

Batoxil LA achieves optimal concentrations in body fluids, serums and exudates.

Serum antibiotic levels (0.2 mcg/ml) may be observed for 3 to 4 days after the application of Batoxil LA.

Oxytetracycline is derived from the metabolism of Streptomyces rimosus. It is an effective agent in the treatment of a wide spectrum of infections produced by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Batoxil LA is indicated as preventive and curative in infectious processes caused by Gram Positive, Gram Negative bacteria, Mycoplasmas, Chlamydia, Rickettsia and some fungi and pathogenic protozoa.

Its use is indicated in Bovine, Sheep, Pigs and dogs.
