Preferred Label : Doxycycline Hyclate Injection;
NCIt definition : An injectable formulation composed of the hyclate salt form of doxycycline, a synthetic,
broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic, with antimicrobial activity. Upon injection,
doxycycline reversibly binds to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit, and blocks the
binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex. This leads to an inhibition
of bacterial protein synthesis and abrogates bacterial infections.;
