Description

Oily, colorless topale-yellow liquid, opalescence is acceptable.

Composition

Each 1 ml contains the activeingredients:

Florfenicol                                       - 300 mg;

Flunixin (as flunixinmeglumine)     - 27.4 mg. 

Pharmacological properties

The active ingredients of the drug are florfenicol and flunixin.

Florfenicol is active against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteriasincluding: Staphylococcusspp., Streptococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., E. сoli, Pasteurella haemolytica, Pasteurellamultocida, Pasteurella piscicida, Vibrio spp., Haemophilus somnus, Haemophilusparasuis, Fusobacterium necrophorum, Bacteroides melaninogenicus, A.pleuropneumoniae, Bordetella bronchiseptica, Salmonella spp., Klebsiella spp.,Proteus spp., Shigella spp. And others.

Florfenicol is active against most types of mycoplasma (Mycoplasmahyopneumoniae, Mycoplasma hyorhinis and others).

The mode of action of the preparation is to bind to 70S ribosomes and block protein synthesis inbacterial cells.

Flunixin - a non-narcotic, non-steroidal analgesic, which has a stronganti-inflammatory, antipyretic and antiendotoxic effect.

Flunixin acts as a reverse inhibitor of COX - the enzyme which isresponsible for the conversion of arachidonic acid into cyclic endoperoxides. Thusinhibits the synthesis of mediators of inflammation, cause fever, pain andcongestion. Flunixin also inhibits the release of thromboxane.

Flunixin shows antipyretic effect by inhibiting prostaglandin E2synthesis in the hypothalamus. Flunixin also causes antiendotoxic effect byinhibiting the formation of inflammatory mediators, thus limiting theirinvolvement in diseases which are accompanied by endotoxin states. 

Indications

The dose should notexceed 10 ml at one injection site. The injection should be carried out only inthe neck area. 

Contraindications

Do not use in animals withsensitivity to florfenicol and flunixin.

Do not use in animals duringpregnancy and lactation.

Do not use concurrently withthiamphenicol or chloramphenicol, antibiotics of the penicillin group,cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, as there is a possibility of toxicity.
