Product Description

Doxycycline hydrochloride is a semi-synthetic tetracycline antibiotic capable of penetrating cell membranes and binding to 30S ribosome subunits, interfering with tRNA/mRNA interactions, and ultimately inhibiting protein synthesis. As a broad spectrum antibiotic and antibacterial agent, Chemicalbook has a very strong resistance to bacteria that mainly cause respiratory infections, including mycoplasma pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. In addition, it can treat infections caused by chlamydia, Rickettsia and some spirochetes, and has antiseptic and repellant functions.
