What is Ciprofloxacin?
Active Ingredients: Ciprofloxacin
Ciprofloxacin Injection is a fast-acting antibiotic drug used to treat infections in many types of animals, including dogs, cats, poultry, goats, sheep, camels and cows. It is commonly used to treat infections of the urinary tract, skin, or respiratory system. Ciprofloxacin is effective for gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.
Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It works by interfering with the enzymes responsible for DNA replication, which stops protein synthesis. Ciprofloxacin displays bactericidal activity against a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella, E. coli, Enterobacter, Salmonella, and Proteus.
