PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION
Enrofloxacin is a synthetic broad-spectrum chemotherapeutic of the fluoroquinolones group.
Owing to the inhibition of the bacterial DNA-gyrase it causes a potent bactericidal effect against
Gram-negative, a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria and Mycoplasma spp. It is inactive
against anaerobic microorganisms. It is very well distributed in the tissues, possesses bactericidal
activity in small tissue concentrations, and is well tolerated by animals.
After oral administration of Biofloxavet® C tablet to cats and Biofloxavet® D tablets for dogs at a
dose of 5 mg enrofloxacin per kg b.w., enrofloxacin and absorbs quickly and almost completely
by the digestive tract thereby creating within a short period of time antimicrobial plasma
concentrations of enrofloxacin and its active metabolite ciprofloxacin higher than the MIC for
clinically important microbial agents which are maintained for 24 hours after the administration.
Enrofloxacin is well distributed within the organisms of cats. Its elimination from the organism
is primarily via the urine and bile/faeces.
