Maxitet 10% Injectable Solution
Essential Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic for Targeted Livestock Treatment
Maxitet 10% is a reliable oxytetracycline injection (100mg/ml) developed for the rapid treatment of a wide range of bacterial and rickettsial infections in livestock. Because of its lower concentration compared to the LA versions, it is often favored for cases where precise, daily dosing is required to manage acute infections in cattle, sheep, and goats.
It is particularly valued for its short withdrawal period and its ability to be administered through various routes, giving the farmer more control over the animal’s recovery process.
🐄 Why Maxitet 10% is an Essential:
-
Fast-Acting Relief: Rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream to begin fighting infection immediately.

Flexible Administration: Safe for Subcutaneous (SC), Intramuscular (IM), or slow Intravenous (IV) injection.
