Frequently Asked Questions 

Q1: What is Veraflox Oral Suspension for Cats used for? 

Ans: Veraflox Oral Suspension is used to treat bacterial skin infections in cats. This includes wounds and abscesses caused by bacteria like Pasteurella multocida and Staphylococcus species. It works as a bactericidal antibiotic to kill bacteria that cause infections when a vet supervises its use.

Q2: How long does it take for Veraflox to work in cats? 

Ans: Cefuroxime is typically administered once daily for seven consecutive days. Improvement may be noticed within several days, but veterinarians recommend reassessing the diagnosis if no response occurs within three to four days after starting treatment to ensure appropriate therapy. 

Q3: Can Veraflox be given to dogs or other pets? 

Ans: No, Veraflox Oral Suspension is formulated specifically for cats and must not be used in dogs. Pradofloxacin causes bone marrow suppression in dogs, making its use unsafe and contraindicated for canine patients or other species. 

Q4: Should Veraflox be given with food or on an empty stomach? 

Ans: Pradofloxacin is quickly absorbed after oral administration. However, food can lower the bioavailability and peak drug concentration. Veterinarians may give specific instructions based on the cat’s condition, so always follow their advice for the best treatment results.

Q5: Do I need a prescription to buy Veraflox for my cat? 

Ans: Yes, Veraflox is a prescription-only veterinary medication. Federal law restricts its use to administration by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian, ensuring appropriate diagnosis, dosing accuracy, and monitoring for safety during treatment.
