Description

Oxytetracycline HCl

Oxytetracycline HCl is a broad-spectrum tetracycline-class antibiotic used in pharmaceutical, veterinary, and dermatological formulations to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria. It acts by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis and demonstrating efficacy against gram-positive, gram-negative, and atypical pathogens.

• Broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic for systemic and topical use
• Hydrochloride salt form with improved solubility and formulation stability
• Used in oral tablets, topical creams, injectables, and ophthalmic preparations
• Active against Rickettsia, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, and other bacterial pathogens
• Manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified conditions
• Supplied with full regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Drug Master File (DMF), and supporting technical data

Oxytetracycline HCl, chemically known as 4-(dimethylamino)-1,4,4a,5,5a,6,11,12a-octahydro-3,5,6,10,12,12a-hexahydroxy-6-methyl-1,11-dioxo-2-naphthacenecarboxamide hydrochloride, appears as a yellow to orange crystalline powder, freely soluble in water and stable under acidic conditions.

In pharmaceutical and veterinary applications, Oxytetracycline HCl is used in:

• Oral dosage forms for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and acne
• Injectables and ophthalmic solutions for systemic and local infections
• Topical creams and ointments for bacterial skin infections and acne vulgaris
• Veterinary therapeutics for livestock, poultry, and companion animals
• Aquaculture and agricultural formulations for bacterial disease management

Oxytetracycline has been widely used in both human and veterinary medicine due to its broad antimicrobial spectrum. It is particularly valuable in areas where low-cost, oral antibiotics are required. However, its use should be limited in pediatric and pregnant populations due to potential effects on bone and tooth development.

CarboMer supplies Oxytetracycline HCl with validated control over assay, impurity profile, moisture content, and particle size. Each batch conforms to applicable pharmacopeial standards and is suitable for regulated pharmaceutical and veterinary formulations.

Material is packaged in sealed, light-protective, tamper-evident containers. Available in standard and custom volumes. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and documentation including CoA, SDS, and DMF are available upon request.

Each batch is tested for identity (IR, UV, HPLC), assay (anhydrous basis), loss on drying, pH, related substances, heavy metals, and microbial limits. Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and full traceability documentation accompany every shipment.

As with all CarboMer antibiotic APIs, Oxytetracycline HCl is supported by regulatory compliance services, formulation assistance, and secure global sourcing to meet the needs of manufacturers developing safe, effective antibacterial therapies.
