What is Ronaxan? 

Ronaxan is a broad-spectrum antibiotic medication which can be used to treat dogs and cats which are suffering from infections of the respiratory tract including tonsillitis, rhinitis, bronchopneumonia and feline respiratory diseases which target the upper airways of the cat – the nose, throat and sinuses.

It contains the key active ingredient doxycycline, a tetracycline antibiotic which works upon susceptible bacteria including pasteurella, bordetella bronchiseptica, staphylococcus aureus, staphylococcus and streptococcus. It works by stopping the bacteria from reproducing.

Please follow your vet’s instructions for the correct dosage for your pet.

How does Ronaxan work?

Ronaxan is an antibiotic medicine which can be used in both dogs and cats for the treatment of infections of the upper respiratory tract and feline respiratory diseases, which target the upper airways of the cat.

It is a prescription only veterinary medicine containing the broad-spectrum antibiotic doxycycline. It works by targeting both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria in the dog or cat. Gram negative bacteria are often harder to treat as their cell walls often prevent penetration by antibiotics.

It works by acting on the bacteria, which is causing the infection in the host dog or cat, and preventing that bacteria from producing protein, which in turn prevents the bacteria from reproducing and spreading and thus halts the spread of infection in the dog or cat. As an antibiotic it is particularly fat-soluble and thus is absorbed quickly by the dog or cat and can thus begin to work fast.

What are the benefits of Ronaxan? 

Ronaxan contains doxycycline which is a member of the tetracycline family of antibiotics and thus works quickly to stop infection in your cat or dog. It can begin to work as quickly as one hour after being administered due to the way that it is rapidly absorbed by the animal, although actual visual changes in the animal might not be noticed for one to two days.

One of the key benefits is that it works effectively against two different types of bacteria, both gram positive and gram negative, of which gram negative bacteria are often harder to treat as they can prevent the action of antibiotics.
