Pharmacological properties
ATCvet: QJ01– antibacterials for systemic use. QJ01МA90 - Enrofloxacin.
Enrofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic of the fluoroquinolone group. It has antibacterial acction against gram-positive (Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Clostridium spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Corynebacterium spp. etc.) and gram-negative microorganisms (Pseudomonas spp., E. coli, Haemophilus spp., Salmonella spp., Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp., Pasteurella spp. etc.), as well as mycoplasma (Mycoplasma spp.) and chlamydiae (Chlamidia spp.). Its mechanism of action is related to inhibition of bacterial DNA-gyrase, resulting in violation of DNA replication in microorganisms.
Enrofloxacin is quickly absorbed from digestive tract and well distributed in body tissues and fluids. Its maximum concentration in blood is reached already in 60-120 minutes, maintained for 6 hours, the therapeutic concentration is maintained for 24 hours. Practically not subject to biotransformation, partially metabolized to ciprofloxacin. Feed in the stomach does not affect drug absorption. Binding of enrofloxacin to proteins makes 24±2%. The highest enrofloxacin concentrations are observed in bile, kidneys, liver, lungs and reproductive organs. Enrofloxacin is primarily excreted renally. Metabolites are excreted in urine, bile and feces.
Administration
Treatment of broiler chickens in diseases of the respiratory and digestive tract caused by microorganisms sensitive to enrofloxacin.
Dosage

Do not administer to hens, laying eggs for human consumption.
Do not administer in combination with drugs containing Mg2+, Al3+, Ca2+ cations, that may interfere with enrofloxacin absorption.
