$45.00

BURVAQUIN Injectable Solution is an FDA-approved antibiotic specifically designed for the treatment of lower respiratory tract infections in horses. Let’s delve into the details:

    • Indication and Target Pathogen:
      • BURVAQUIN is indicated for treating infections caused by Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus (S. zooepidemicus).
      • S. zooepidemicus is a common pathogen associated with equine respiratory infections.
    • Mechanism of Action:
      • BURVAQUIN contains ceftiofur crystalline free acid, a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic.
      • It acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, effectively targeting both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
    • Sustained-Release Advantage:
      • BURVAQUIN is the first and only sustained-release antibiotic approved for horses.
      • With just two treatments, it provides a full 10-day course of therapy.
      • This dosing schedule enhances compliance and convenience for horse owners and veterinarians.
    • Effective Relief and Rapid Action:
      • Horses respond rapidly to BURVAQUIN, experiencing relief within 5–10 minutes.
      • Most achieve relief from colic spasms within 30 minutes.
      • Fewer administrations reduce the risk of missed doses compared to daily treatments.
    • Safety Considerations:
      • Avoid BURVAQUIN use in impaction colics associated with ileus or in horses with glaucoma.
      • Transient elevated heart rate is a common side effect post-injection.
    • Overall Benefit:
      • BURVAQUIN effectively manages respiratory infections, allowing horses to recover comfortably.
