Enrofloxacin Flavored Tablets (generic of Baytril) is a fluroquinolone antibiotic indicated for the management of disease in dogs and cats associated with bacteria susceptible to enrofloxacin. Enrofloxacin is bactericidal against a wide range of gram positive and gram negative bacteria by interfering with bacterial DNA metabolism killing the bacteria.
Putney Enrofloxacin Flavored Tablets delivers the same efficacy and safety profile as Baytril, but is more affordable.
- Urinary tract infections: Enrofloxacin exerts rapid bactericidal action in the urinary tract. Provides effective management of acute or chronic infections of the genitourinary tract and prostate.
- Respiratory tract infections: Enrofloxacin irreversibly inhibits a bacterial enzyme resulting in rapid bactericidal action. Achieves therapeutic concentrations in pulmonary and bronchial tissues.
- Dermal infections: Enrofloxacin concentrates in inflamed tissue providing high drug levels at the infection site.
Dosage and Administration:
Dogs: Administer orally at a rate to provide 5-20 mg/kg (2.27 to 9.07 mg/lb) of body weight. Selection of a dose within the range should be based on clinical experience, the severity of disease, and susceptibility of the pathogen. Animals which receive doses in the upper-end of the dose range should be carefully monitored for clinical signs that may include inappetance, depression, and vomiting.
