Enroquin (Enrofloxacin Flavored) - 22.7 mg, 68 mg, 136 mg - Single Tablet
DESCRIPTION: Enrofloxacin is an antibiotic that treats a broad range of susceptible bacterial infections. Key Benefits: Enrofloxacin destroys the bacteria associated with respiratory tract infections, dermal infections, and urinary tract cystitis in dogs. It works by penetrating the body tissues and fluids of dogs and cats. This antibiotic is a derivative-class, quinolone carboxylic acid medication from the quinolone class, and it is antimicrobial against a broad range of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. It is rapidly absorbed by the animal's digestive tract, where it then penetrates throughout the body. Formulated For: Intended for cats and dogs. How is Medication Given? Follow your veterinarian's directions when using this product. This generic formula is approved by the FDA. The beef-flavored formula comes in the same counts, scoring, and strengths as the name-brand Baytril Taste Tabs. For cats, the recommended oral dosage rate is 5 mg per kg of body weight (or 2.27 mg per pound). For cats, this medication should be administered as a pill. Following dosing, closely monitor to be sure the full dose is consumed. For dogs, the recommended oral dosage rate is 5 mg to 20 mg per kg of body weight (or 2.27 mg to 9.07 mg per pound). Offer by hand, pill, or combine with food. Administer once daily, or divide and administer as two equal doses 12 hours apart. Continue to administer for 2 to 3 days after clinical signs have ceased, administering for no more than 30 days. Dose selection should be based upon pathogen susceptibility, disease severity, and clinical experience. Animals receiving high doses should receive monitoring for clinical signs like vomiting, depression, or inappetence. What Results Can I Expect? Enrofloxacin is a palatable, beef-flavored tablet with the same efficacy and safety of the name-brand Baytril Taste Tabs, but a more economical price. This allows for greater compliance.
