    About this item
    DESCRIPTION:

    Veraflox Oral Suspension contains Pradofloxacin, an antibiotic that treats feline skin infections (wounds or abscesses) caused by susceptible strains of Pasteurella multocida, Streptococcus canis, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus felis, and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius.

    Key Benefits:

  • Veraflox offers enhanced efficacy against gram-positive and anaerobic organisms compared to past-generation fluoroquinolones, but demonstrates the same level of efficacy against gram-negative organisms.
  • It promises enhanced bactericidal activity, working to combat both of the enzymes bacterial DNA need to reproduce and survive - DNA Gyrase and Topoisomerase IV.

    Formulated For: For cats and kittens (6 weeks and older)
