Baytril (Enrofloxacin) 2.27% Injectable Solution for Dogs (20ml)

Fast-Acting Antibacterial Injection for Dogs' Infection Treatment

Product Description 

Baytril (enrofloxacin) Antibacterial Injectable Solution 2.27% is an antibiotic that veterinarians prescribe for dogs to help manage bacterial infections in areas like the skin, respiratory tract, and urinary system. This medication effectively targets both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, ensuring it penetrates tissues well. The injectable dose quickly reaches therapeutic levels, and then oral therapy can follow to keep the infection in check, always with veterinary oversight.

Benefits

• Broad Spectrum Coverage: Effective against susceptible Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria that cause skin, respiratory, and urinary infections in dogs.
• Rapid Drug Distribution: Reaches tissue levels that equal or exceed minimum inhibitory concentrations within two hours after the recommended dose.  
• Deep Tissue Penetration: Spreads widely into dog tissues and body fluids, including lungs, kidneys, prostate, and skin, to ensure effective treatment.  
• Bactericidal Mechanism: Stops bacterial DNA gyrase and replication, leading to the death of bacteria instead of just preventing their growth.
• Sequential Therapy Support: Designed for initial injectable administration followed by oral tablets, enabling flexible veterinarian-directed treatment protocols.
