Marboquin (Marbofloxacin) tablets are a veterinary antibiotic prescribed for the treatment of bacterial infections in dogs and cats. The active ingredient, marbofloxacin, is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works by blocking bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme necessary for bacterial DNA replication. This action prevents the bacteria from multiplying and ultimately leads to their death.
Marboquin is used to treat a variety of infections, including skin infections (pyoderma), urinary tract infections (UTIs), respiratory infections, and soft tissue infections. It is especially useful for treating infections caused by susceptible bacteria that may be resistant to other types of antibiotics.
The tablets are typically administered orally, and the dosage is determined based on the pet's weight and the severity of the infection. It is important to follow the veterinarian's instructions on dosage and duration of treatment to ensure the infection is fully treated and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
While Marboquin is generally well-tolerated, some pets may experience mild side effects, such as gastrointestinal upset or changes in appetite. It is essential to complete the entire course of treatment as prescribed, even if the pet appears to recover before finishing the medication. Always consult a veterinarian if any side effects occur or if symptoms persist.
