What is Florfenicol?
Active Ingredients: Florfenicol
Florfenicol Injection is an antibiotic drug used to treat or prevent certain bacterial infections in livestock animals such as cows, goats, sheep and pigs. It is indicated for the treatment of illnesses such as bovine respiratory disease (including Pasteurella multocida) and bovine interdigital phlegmon (including Fusobacterium and Bacteroides).
Florfenicol is a thiamphenicol derivative, which is similar in action to chloramphenicol. It works by inhibiting protein synthesis within the bacteria. Florfenicol displays a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against gram-negative bacilli, gram-positive cocci, and atypical bacteria like Mycoplasma.
It is important to note Florfenicol Injection is for veterinary purposes only.
