Pharmacological properties
ATC vet classification
code QJ01 – anti-infective veterinary preparations for system application.
Сeftiofur
is a semi-synthetic antibiotic of third generation cephalosporins group. It
possesses a wide spectrum of action against gram-positive and gram-negative
bacteria (Pasteurella haemolytica
(Mannheimia spp.), Escherichia coli, Pasteurella multocida, Haemophilus somnus,
Heamophilus parasuis, Fusobacterium necrophorum and Bacteroides melaninogenicus (Porphyromonas asaccharolytica),
Arcanobacterium pyogenes, Fusobacterium necrophorum, Pasteurella
multocida, Actinobacillus
pleuropneumoniae and Streptococcus
suis). Сeftiofur inhibits (suppresses) synthesis of cell walls of bacteria,
suppressing synthesis of peptidoglycan.
Сeftiofur shows active
effect on the following pathogens which cause respiratory and other infectious
diseases in pigs: Actinobacillus
pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, Heamophilus parasuis and Streptococcus suis.
After parenteral administration,
сeftiofur is rapidly metabolized into desferalceftiofur, active metabolite. Due
to the binding to plasma proteins, active ceftiofur metabolite is concentrated
in the site of inflammation.
Maximum concentration in blood
plasma is observed after 22 hours after administration of the preparation.
Preparation excretion from the organism occurs within 10 days after
administration. Сeftiofur is excreted from organism mostly with urine and
partially with feces.
Application
Treatment of pigs suffering from
septicemia, polyarthritis, polyserositis as well as when pulmonary organs
diseases and other infectious diseases caused by microorganisms sensitive to
ceftiofur.
Dosing

for kg of body mass) once to the neck area.
Prior to use a vial with the preparation should be
thoroughly shaken to homogeneous suspension obtaining and sediment
resuspension.

determining of a necessary dose and avoiding insufficient amount of the
preparation administration, it is necessary to accurately determine mass of
animal. Maximum volume of the preparation for administration
into one site must not exceed 4 ml.
