Active Ingredient
Doxycycline
Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic
Doxycycline belongs to the tetracycline family of antibiotics and works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, helping control susceptible bacterial infections.
Compared with older tetracyclines, doxycycline offers several important advantages:
- Excellent tissue penetration
- High oral absorption
- High bioavailability
- Reliable effectiveness even when administered with feed
- Less interference from calcium and other minerals
These characteristics help deliver effective antibiotic concentrations throughout the body, particularly within the respiratory system.
Why Doxycycline?
Doxycycline is recognized for:
- Excellent absorption (over 90%)
- Superior tissue distribution
- High bioavailability in swine
- Good penetration into lungs and respiratory tissues
- Broad-spectrum antibacterial activity
These properties make it a valuable antibiotic for managing bacterial respiratory infections under veterinary supervision.
Bromhexine
Supports Respiratory Health
Bromhexine is a mucolytic agent that helps loosen thick respiratory secretions and supports easier removal of mucus from the airways.
Benefits include:
- Helps loosen phlegm and mucus
- Supports easier breathing
- Promotes airway clearance
- Helps improve antibiotic penetration into respiratory tissues
- Supports faster respiratory recovery
By reducing mucus viscosity, bromhexine helps improve comfort and respiratory function in affected animals.
Synergistic Action
Doxycycline + Bromhexine
Aquadox B+ combines two complementary active ingredients that work together to support respiratory health.
Doxycycline provides broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, while Bromhexine helps clear mucus from the respiratory tract, allowing antibiotics to reach affected tissues more effectively.
This combination helps support faster recovery and improved respiratory comfort.
Vitamins and Minerals
Supports Recovery and Animal Performance
Aquadox B+ also contains essential vitamins and minerals that help animals maintain good body condition during periods of disease challenge and recovery.
Nutritional support is especially beneficial during:
- Disease outbreaks
- Vaccination programs
- Transportation stress
- Environmental stress
- Recovery periods
Because vitamins and minerals are already included, producers may not need additional nutritional supplements while animals are recovering, depending on veterinary recommendations.
