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.
Contact your closest emergency animal hospital.

Dosage and administration
Administer as advised by your veterinarian.
Administration is by the oral route.
To ensure a correct dosage, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing. To facilitate accurate dosing, the 15 ml bottle of Veraflox oral suspension is supplied together with a 3 ml oral dosing syringe (graduation: 0.1 to 2 ml).
The duration of the treatment depends on the nature and severity of the infection and on the response to treatment.
For most infections the following treatment courses will be sufficient: The treatment should be reconsidered if no improvement of the clinical condition is observed within 3 days after starting the treatment.
In order to avoid cross-contamination, the same syringe should not be used for different animals. Thus, one syringe should only be used for one animal. After administration, the syringe should be cleaned with tap water and stored in the carton box together with the veterinary medicinal product.
Dosages
The recommended dose of Veraflox is 5.0 mg/kg bodyweight of pradofloxacin once daily. Due to the graduation of the syringe the resulting dose range is 5.0 to 7.5 mg/kg bodyweight according to the following table:
