Treatment of the following diseases caused by bacteria sensitive to doxycycline:

Rhinitis caused by Bordetella bronchiseptica and Pasteurella spp.;

Bronchopneumonia caused by Bordetella spp. and Pasteurella spp.;

Interstitial nephritis caused by Leptospira spp.

None.

4.6 Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)

Gastrointestinal disorders such as vomiting, diarrhea and oesophagitis have been reported as adverse effects after doxycycline therapy.

In very young animals, pigmentation of the teeth can be produced by the formation of a complex of tetracycline and calcium phosphate.

After exposure to strong sunlight, hypersensitivity reactions, photosensitivity reactions and, in rare cases, photodermatitis may occur.

It is known that the use of other tetracyclines causes a delay in skeletal growth in young animals (reversible after discontinuation of therapy). This delay can also occur after doxycycline administration.

5.2 Pharmacokinetic data

After oral administration, the absorption of doxycycline occurs mainly in the duodenum and jejunum. After oral administration, the bioavailability is > 50%.

Doxycycline is distributed throughout the body, and accumulates intracellularly in, for example, leukocytes. It is deposited in active bone tissue and teeth. Doxycycline is eliminated primarily in the feces by direct intestinal excretion and, to a lesser extent, by glomerular elimination and biliary secretion.
