Veraflox Oral Suspension (Pradofloxacin) is prescribed to treat skin infections in cats, including abscesses and wounds, caused by multiple strains of bacteria. It is effective in managing a variety of bacterial skin conditions in both cats and kittens. Formulated as an easy-to-administer, once-daily oral form, Veraflox offers additional protection in the antibiotic treatment of felines. Use with kittens and cats anywhere from 6 weeks or older. Includes a 15 mL oral Veraflox suspension for cats.How it Works

Veraflox™ was formulated to enhance the efficacy against anaerobic and gram-positive pathogens compared to fluoroquinolones of past generations while maintaining the same activity against gram-negative bacteria. It delivers improved bactericidal action as it works to attack both essential enzymes needed for the DNA of bacteria to replicate - topoisomerase IV and DNA gyrase.

Special Precautions

• Do not use this medication in pets with known or suspected fluoroquinolone antibiotic allergies or hypersensitivities.
• Do not use in young and growing dogs, kittens under the age of 6 weeks, pets suffering from joint issues associated with damaged cartilage, or pets with disorders of the central nervous system, including epilepsy. This medication can cause seizures in such animals.
• Do not use in lactating or pregnant females.
• This drug is considered safe for use in kittens over the age of 6 weeks as it has no effect on cartilage development at this age.
• Do not use in cats with persistent articular cartilage lesions. Lesions can worsen during fluoroquinolone treatment.
• Where possible, this product is recommended for use only when susceptibility testing has taken place.
• Local and official antimicrobial procedures should be considered when using this product.
• Fluoroquinolones should only be used to treat clinical conditions that have or might respond poorly to other antimicrobial classes.
