Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic Tablets for Dogs and Cats

Product Description

Marboquin 100 mg Tablets are a veterinarian-prescribed go-to antibiotic for treating bacterial infections among dogs and cats. They contain marbofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works wonders on issues affecting the skin, soft tissues, and urinary tract. The medication is absorbed rapidly and spreads well in the body, providing a strong bactericidal effect against the bacteria it targets. Make sure to follow your vet's advice for the best results in managing your pet's health and recovery.

Benefits

  • High Oral Absorption: Demonstrates rapid and nearly complete gastrointestinal absorption with approximately 94% bioavailability in dogs after oral administration.
  • Broad-Spectrum Action: Targets a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria by stopping DNA gyrase, which leads to fast bacterial death.
  • Effective Tissue Distribution: Widely distributed across canine tissues, including skin, kidneys, lungs, and urinary tract for targeted therapeutic activity.
  • Convenient Dose: Recommended once-daily dosing supports easier administration and improved treatment compliance for pet owners and veterinarians.
  • Proven Clinical Use: Demonstrated effectiveness in clinical studies for soft tissue and bacterial skin infections in dogs and cats, and urinary infections in dogs.
