Enroflox 2.27% Injection (20 ml)

Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Injection for Dogs

Product Description

Enroflox® Injection for Dogs (20 mL vial) 2.27% is an injectable antibiotic used in veterinary care to treat bacterial infections in dogs. It contains enrofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works by blocking the bacteria’s ability to copy their DNA, which stops them from growing and spreading. This injection is often used to treat infections of the skin, lungs, and urinary tract caused by sensitive bacteria. It is usually given as an intramuscular injection at the start of treatment, and the therapy may later continue with oral tablets under a veterinarian’s direction.

Benefits

• Effective Infection Management: Supports treatment of dermal, respiratory, and urinary infections caused by susceptible bacterial strains.
• High Urinary Concentration: Achieves particularly high drug levels in urine, supporting effective urinary infection management.
