Description:
Florfenicol is a synthetic broad-spectrum antibiotic that is
effective against most Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria
isolated from domestic animals. Florfenicol, a fluorinated
derivative of chloramphenicol, acts by inhibiting protein synthesis
at the ribosomal level and is bacteriostatic. Florfenicol does not
carry the risk of inducing human aplastic anaemia that is
associated with the use of chloramphenicol, and also has activity
against some chloramphenicol-resistant strains of bacteria.
Indications:
Introflor-100 Oral is indicated for preventive and therapeutic
treatment of gastrointestinal and respiratory tract infections
caused by florfenicol sensitive micro-organisms such as
Actinobaccillus spp., Pasteurella spp., Salmonella spp. and
Streptococcus spp. in swine and poultry. The presence of the
disease in the herd should be established before preventive
treatment. Medication should be initiated promptly when respiratory
disease is diagnosed.
Contra indications:
Not to be used in boars intended for breeding purposes, or in
animals producing eggs or milk for human consumption. Do not
administer in cases of previous hypersensitivity to florfenicol.
The use of Introflor-100 Oral during pregnancy and lactation is not
recommended. The product should not be used or stored in galvanized
metal watering systems or containers.
Side effects
A decrease in food and water consumption and transient softening of
the faeces or diarrhoea may occur during the treatment period. The
treated animals recover quickly and completely upon termination of
treatment. In swine, commonly observed adverse effects are
diarrhoea, peri-anal and rectal erythema/oedema and prolapse of the
rectum. These effects are transient.
