Must be prescribed and dispensed by or under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian. Complete the full prescribed course to prevent antimicrobial resistance and treatment failure. Do not use in pregnant animals — Doxycycline is a tetracycline-class antibiotic that can cause fetal skeletal abnormalities and tooth discolouration in developing young. Do not use in animals under 6 months of age due to risk of permanent tooth and bone discolouration. Administer with food or water to reduce risk of oesophageal ulceration. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you are giving this to a cat, always follow the tablet with water or food.\u003c\/strong\u003e A doxycycline tablet that lodges in a cat's oesophagus can burn through the lining and cause a stricture, a narrowing that permanently affects swallowing and is far harder to treat than the original infection. Give the tablet, then follow it immediately with about 5ml of water from a syringe or a small amount of wet food, and do not let your cat settle down straight afterwards. \u003cstrong\u003eTablet size matters here too:\u003c\/strong\u003e the smallest strength in this range is 100mg, which is more than a typical cat or small dog needs, so ask your veterinarian whether this presentation can be divided safely for your pet or whether a smaller strength is required. Never give leftover antibiotics from another animal or a previous illness, and never give human antibiotics to a pet. Contact your veterinarian if your pet gags, drools, repeatedly swallows, goes off food, vomits persistently, or develops severe diarrhoea during treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriheal Paladox-LB Tablets for Dogs \u0026amp; Cats (100mg | 200mg | 300mg)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriheal Paladox-LB is a prescription veterinary combination antibiotic tablet for dogs and cats, containing Doxycycline (a second-generation tetracycline-class broad-spectrum bacteriostatic antibiotic) combined with Lactic Acid Bacillus (a veterinary probiotic). The dual-action formulation combines the broad-spectrum antibacterial activity of Doxycycline with the gut flora-protective activity of Lactic Acid Bacillus, reducing antibiotic-associated gastrointestinal disturbance during treatment. That pairing matters in Indian practice, because doxycycline's most common use here is tick fever, which is treated for around four weeks — long enough for gut flora disruption to become a real problem in its own right. Available in 100mg, 200mg, and 300mg tablet strengths for weight-based dosing. Administer strictly as directed by a licensed veterinarian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoxycycline Hyclate or Monohydrate — 100mg, 200mg, or 300mg per tablet (confirm salt form from Oriheal Paladox-LB product label):\u003c\/strong\u003e Second-generation tetracycline-class broad-spectrum bacteriostatic antibiotic;
