Minocycline In Dogs & Cats: Uses, Dosage and Side Effects<\/strong><\/p>\n

$\"Minocycline$ <\/p>\n\n

Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
By binding to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, protein synthesis is inhibited in bacteria.<\/li>\n
Minocycline is the tetracycline<\/strong> with the highest lipid solubility and the broadest spectrum of antibacterial, antirickettsial, antimycoplasmal, and antichlamydial activity.<\/li>\n
Due to its superior lipid solubility, its clinical efficacy is typically greater than that of other tetracyclines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Uses of Minocycline<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
Treatment of bacterial, rickettsial, mycoplasmal and chlamydial diseases.<\/li>\n
Being extremely lipid-soluble, it penetrates well into prostatic fluid and bronchial secretions.<\/li>\n
Use with care in animals with hepatic disease.<\/li>\n
If oral dosing in cats, avoid dry pilling as for doxycycline and follow with a water bolus to reduce the risk of oesophageal erosions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
