Understanding Cefovecin (Convenia) for Cats & Dogs
What is Cefovecin?
Cefovecin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the cephalosporin class. It is specifically designed for veterinary use to treat bacterial infections in dogs and cats.
How Does It Work?
Cefovecin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell death. Its long-acting nature allows for a single injection to provide up to 14 days of therapeutic levels, ensuring effective and convenient treatment.
Benefits:
-
Extended Duration: Single injection lasts for two weeks, reducing the need for multiple doses.
-
Broad-Spectrum: Effective against a variety of bacterial infections.
-
Compliance: Simplifies treatment regimen, improving owner and pet compliance.
Common Bacterial Infections:
-
Skin Infections (Pyoderma): Often caused by Staphylococcus bacteria, leading to pustules, itching, and discomfort.
-
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Commonly caused by E. coli, resulting in frequent urination, pain, and potential kidney issues.
-
Respiratory Infections: Includes conditions like pneumonia and bronchitis, often caused by Bordetella or Mycoplasma bacteria, leading to coughing, sneezing, and breathing difficulties.
How Convenia Helps with Bacterial Infections?
Convenia (Cefovecin) provides a single, long-lasting injection that effectively targets and eradicates a wide range of bacteria responsible for these infections.
Its prolonged action ensures continuous therapeutic levels for up to 14 days, simplifying treatment and improving compliance. This makes it particularly useful for owners who struggle with administering daily medications to their pets.
Possible Side Effects
- Some pets maty experience lethargy, anorexia/decreased appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, blood in feces, dehydration, flatulence, or increased borborygmi (intestinaly rumbling caused by moving gas).
-
Contact your veterinarian immediately if any adverse effects are noticed.
Recommended Dosage
Use as directed by your veterinarian.
To deliver the appropriate dose, aseptically reconstitute Convenia with 10 mL sterile water for injection. Shake and allow vial to sit until all material is visually dissolved. The resulting solution contains cefovecin sodium equivalent to 80 mg/mL cefovecin.
Storage Instructions
- Store the powder and the reconstituted product in the original carton, refrigerated at 2° to 8° C (36° to 46° F).
- Use the entire contents of the vial within 56 days of reconstitution. PROTECT FROM LIGHT.
- After each use it is important to return the unused portion back to the refrigerator in the original carton.
- As with other cephalosporins, the color of the solution may vary from clear to amber at reconstitution and may darken over time.
- If stored as recommended, solution color does not adversely affect potency.
