Treatment of cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, dogs and cats that suffers from respiratory diseases, digestive tract, reproductive system, caused by pathogens sensitive to ofloxacin.

Product Description:

Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibacterial. It inhibits DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, the enzymes bacteria use to unwind and re-coil their chromosome during replication, so the DNA cannot be copied and the cell dies. The class is bactericidal, penetrates tissue well, and covers a broad range of Gram-negative and some Gram-positive organisms, which is what made it attractive across species.

The injectable presentation is used in cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, dogs and cats for respiratory, digestive and reproductive tract infections caused by susceptible organisms. Fluoroquinolones cause cartilage lesions in growing animals, so use in young stock is restricted, and they interact with divalent cations — calcium and magnesium in feed or milk markedly reduce absorption of oral forms.

Sourcing notes. The governing issue is regulatory, not clinical. Fluoroquinolone use in food-producing animals is banned outright in the United States and tightly restricted across the European Union on antimicrobial-resistance grounds, because this class is critically important in human medicine. A destination market must be confirmed before quoting, and withdrawal periods where use is permitted are long and strictly enforced. Protect from light.
