Description
Pharmacological action of
Enrofloxacin, which is part of the drug, belongs to the group of fluoroquinolones, has a wide spectrum of antibacterial and antimycoplasmic effects, inhibits the growth and development of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia, hemophilus, pastelofelus, Staphylophylaceae, pastelles, sapiens, streptococci, clostridia, pseudomonads, bordetellae, campylobacter, corynebacterium, protea, as well as mycoplasmas. The mechanism of action of enrofloxacin is to inhibit the activity of the gyrase enzyme, which affects the replication of the DNA helix in the nucleus of a bacterial cell. With parenteral administration of the drug, enrofloxacin is well and quickly absorbed from the injection site and penetrates into all organs and tissues of the body. The maximum concentration of enrofloxacin in the blood is reached after 20 to 40 minutes, the therapeutic concentration remains for 24 hours after administration of the drug. Baytril 10% injection for the degree of exposure to the body refers to moderately hazardous substances, at recommended doses it is well tolerated by animals, does not have embryotoxic, teratogenic and hepatotoxic effects. Enrofloxacin is excreted from the body mainly unchanged, partially metabolized to ciprofloxacin and excreted in urine and feces.
