Veraflox™ is considered the next step in antibiotic treatment of cats.
Overview
Dosage and administration
Administer as advised by your veterinarian.
Administration is by the oral route.
Dosages
The recommended dose of Veraflox is 5.0 mg/kg bodyweight of pradofloxacin once daily. Due to the graduation of the syringe the resulting dose range is 5.0 to 7.5 mg/kg bodyweight according to the following table:
Bodyweight of Cat (kg)
Dose of Oral suspension to be given (ml)
Pradofloxacin dose (mg/kg bw)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
To ensure a correct dosage, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing. To facilitate accurate dosing, the 15 ml bottle of Veraflox oral suspension is supplied together with a 3 ml oral dosing syringe (graduation: 0.1 to 2 ml).
The duration of the treatment depends on the nature and severity of the infection and on the response to treatment.
For most infections the following treatment courses will be sufficient:
The treatment should be reconsidered if no improvement of the clinical condition is observed within 3 days after starting the treatment.
In order to avoid cross-contamination, the same syringe should not be used for different animals. Thus, one syringe should only be used for one animal. After administration, the syringe should be cleaned with tap water and stored in the carton box together with the veterinary medicinal product.
