Active Ingredients
Doxycycline
Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic
Doxycycline is a member of the tetracycline family of antibiotics that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis.
Its advantages include:
- Excellent tissue penetration
- High oral absorption
- Broad-spectrum antibacterial activity
- Effective distribution throughout body tissues
- High bioavailability
These characteristics help deliver effective concentrations where bacterial infections commonly occur.
Colistin Sulfate
Supports Control of Gram-Negative Bacteria
Colistin Sulfate is particularly effective against susceptible Gram-negative bacteria affecting the digestive tract.
Benefits include:
- Supports intestinal health
- Helps control susceptible bacterial infections
- Complements Doxycycline for broader antibacterial coverage
- Supports recovery from enteric disease challenges
The combination of Doxycycline and Colistin offers broader protection than either ingredient alone.
Vitamins and Minerals
Aquadox™ contains essential vitamins and trace minerals that help support animals during disease challenges and recovery.
These nutrients help:
- Maintain body condition
- Support appetite
- Help reduce the effects of stress
- Support immune function
- Promote recovery following illness or vaccination
Including nutritional supplementation within the formulation reduces the need for separate vitamin products in many situations.
