VETKOFLOR 20% ORAL is a veterinary oral solution containing florfenicol at 200 mg per ml. It is formulated to provide broad-spectrum antibacterial treatment for infections caused by organisms that are susceptible to florfenicol. The active ingredient works by binding to bacterial ribosomal subunits and inhibiting protein synthesis, thereby interfering with essential processes needed for bacterial growth and survival. Its activity extends across a number of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as selected atypical organisms.
\nFlorfenicol is highly lipophilic, which supports effective tissue distribution and useful concentrations at sites of infection. Product information lists clinically important organisms such as Pasteurella, Actinobacillus, Salmonella and Streptococcus species among those that may fall within its susceptible spectrum. VETKOFLOR 20% ORAL is consequently indicated for the prevention and treatment of selected respiratory and gastrointestinal bacterial infections in pigs and poultry when the attending veterinarian determines that florfenicol is appropriate.
\nThe product is administered through drinking water and is suitable for group medication programs. Accurate preparation is essential. The amount of product used should follow the approved label and should be adjusted only in accordance with veterinary guidance and the actual water consumption of the treated animals. Water intake can vary significantly with disease, environmental temperature and age, so it should be monitored to help ensure an appropriate dose. Medicated drinking water should be prepared freshly, used within the stated time after mixing and supplied in suitable equipment that is compatible with the product.
\nVETKOFLOR 20% ORAL should be used within a responsible antimicrobial program. Whenever practical, bacterial culture and susceptibility testing should support treatment decisions, particularly in recurrent disease. Avoid unnecessary antimicrobial exposure and do not use the product when a bacterial indication is not established. Animals with known hypersensitivity to florfenicol should not receive the product, and label restrictions regarding breeding pigs, laying birds, pregnancy and lactation must be followed according to the local authorization. Temporary changes in appetite, water consumption, fecal consistency or perianal tissues may occur in some pigs and should be monitored.
