Ciprolet for cats instructions for use - ciprofloxacin dosage for cats

Ciprovet for cats is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that has a detrimental effect on various forms of pathogenic bacteria, chlamydia, listeria. Clostridia, microscopic molds and mycoplasmas exhibit resistance to it.

The drug is available in the form of ophthalmic drops, tablets and 5% solution for intramuscular and subcutaneous injections. The advisability of using a specific form of medication, the dosage and duration of the course of therapy should be determined by a veterinary specialist, therefore independent use of Tsiprovet is undesirable.

Composition of the drug

The active component of Ciprovet for cats is ciprofloxacin, which is currently included in the list of the most effective antimicrobial agents from the group of fluoroquinolone derivatives.

The principle of this antimicrobial agent is based on the suppression of the bacterial enzyme DNA gyrase, which ensures the reading and copying of genetic information by daughter DNA molecules.

It causes:

DNA replication disorder;
cessation of bacterial cell growth and division;
irreversible changes in organelles;
destruction of the cell membrane.

The result of these processes is the rapid death of the microorganism.

Note! Cells of macroorganisms do not produce DNA gyrase, so Ciprovet does not have a harmful effect on them.

Gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic bacteria are most sensitive to ciprofloxacin, since the substance affects them both during the division period and during the resting phase.

These microbes include:

coli;
salmonella;
shigella;
Klebsiella;
Protea and other representatives of enterobacteria;
pseudomonas;
Haemophilus influenzae;
pasteurella;
aeromonads;
plasmidia;
Campylobacter.

Gram-positive bacteria sensitive to antibiotics:

staphylococci;
streptococci;
enterococci;
mycobacteria.

The medicine affects them only during the division period.

Ciprofloxacin also affects intracellular parasites, the representatives of which are pathogens:

brucellosis;
chlamydia;
listeriosis;
corynebacteriosis.

Resistance to ciprofloxacin is demonstrated by:

clostridia;
Treponema;
ureoplasma;
pseudomonas.

Important! Therefore, treatment with Ciprovet for infections in cats caused by these microbes will be ineffective.

It has been established that the presented antimicrobial drug is destructive for microorganisms resistant to aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, representatives of the penicillin and tetracycline series.

After entering the animal’s gastrointestinal tract, Tsiprovet is absorbed by the epithelial cells of the small intestine, enters the blood vessels and is carried through the bloodstream to all tissues, internal organs, lymph, lacrimal and mammary glands, and the placenta.

The drug is active throughout the day, but its concentration reaches maximum values 1.5-2 hours after administration. Part of it is excreted unchanged in feces and urine, and the other part breaks down, reacts with organic compounds and leaves the body in the form of metabolites.

Important! Tsiprovet penetrates into the mammary glands and is excreted in milk during lactation. This explains the factor prohibiting the use of Ciprovet in cats while breastfeeding their offspring.

The composition of the drug, produced in the form of tablets, additionally includes lactulose, obtained artificially from milk sugar. Its beneficial effect on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract of animals is manifested in retaining fluid in the intestinal lumen, stimulating its peristalsis, increasing the volume of feces, and improving the secretion of bile into the lumen of the duodenum. This leads to timely evacuation of feces, prevention of constipation and flatulence .

In addition, lactulose reaches the lumen of the large intestine unchanged. Here it decomposes under the influence of normal microflora, shifting the pH to the acidic side, creating unfavorable conditions for the development of pathogenic microorganisms.

Another important function of lactulose is to suppress putrefactive processes and reduce the amount of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide produced. By deoxidizing the environment, it impairs the absorption of toxic breakdown products into the blood, facilitating the functioning of the liver and kidneys.

By creating favorable conditions for the proliferation of beneficial bacteria involved in the formation of immunity, lactulose increases the cat’s body’s resistance to the effects of infectious agents.

Lactose was chosen as a filler, forming durable, non-hygroscopic tablets that do not deform or crumble during storage. This component does not affect the absorption and activity of the active substance.

In what cases should antibiotics be used?

Ciprovet tablets for cats are a complex antibacterial agent for oral administration containing the potent component ciprofloxacin. Fluoroquinolone, which includes Ciprofloxacin, kills bacteria of various etiologies.

There is also a dosage form with an identical composition and release in the form of eye drops and tablets - Tsiprolet for cats; in terms of pharmacological properties it is no different from Tsiprovet.

Ciprovet eye drops for cats are used as an antiphlogistic and bactericidal agent to destroy various gram-positive and gram-negative single-celled microorganisms.

The medicinal structure of both drops and pills includes the same active ingredient - ciprofloxacin hydrochloride. There are also additional components that improve the absorption and absorption of the drug (calcium stearate, lactulose and others).

The drug is used to treat:

Infections associated with diseases of the genitourinary system, gastrointestinal tract, biliary tract, group of organs of the respiratory system (in acute and chronic forms).
Inflammation of the skin, cartilage joints, bones.
Infectious eye diseases (conjunctivitis, chlamydia, keratitis, blepharitis and others).
Re-infection caused by a viral disease.
As a prophylaxis after mechanical eye injuries and ophthalmological operations (drops).

The active substance is quickly absorbed into the walls of the stomach and intestines, penetrates the blood and even lymph, which provides a quick effect on the source of inflammation.

Ciprofloxacin destroys the basic structure of the pathogenic cell, disrupting protein synthesis and the integrity of the prokaryotic DNA helix, which inevitably leads to the death of the harmful microorganism.

What pharmacological properties does the medicine have?

Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect - effectively fights such dangerous bacteria as: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, chlamydia, mycobacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, salmonella, brucella, shigella rod-shaped and others. This is why the inflammatory process is so quickly suppressed and the symptoms disappear.

Tsiprovet is classified as a moderately dangerous drug, so it has received approval among specialists in the field of veterinary medicine and is used everywhere.

Positive aspects of using an anti-inflammatory drug:

Wide spectrum of action (kills several bacteria at the same time).
The components that make up the medicine are moderately dangerous to the life and health of pets.
Has no side effects.
Has a long-term therapeutic effect.
It is quickly eliminated from the body.
Availability of purchase (it can be purchased at any veterinary pharmacy).
Loyal price.

What can be said about the negative aspects of the drug?

There are a number of contraindications.
Fluoroquinolols (the component ciprofloxacin belongs to this group) have no natural analogues.
Strict adherence to dosages.

If an inflammatory process is detected in your pet, then do not rush to use antibiotics. Tsiprovet (or Tsiprolet) copes well with many ailments that cause such a reaction in the body. Take care of yourself and your furry pets!

Video on the topic

There are a huge number of diseases in the treatment of which antibiotics are necessarily used.

Antibacterial drugs are prescribed for the following diseases:

giardiasis;
whooping cough;
chlamydia;
purulent wounds and abscesses;
bacterial infections of the skin and soft tissues;
infectious diseases of the eyes and ears;
pyometra;
pneumonia;
tuberculosis;
pyelonephritis;
cystitis;
urolithiasis disease;
intestinal infections;
viral diseases;
decreased immunity after surgery, etc.

Basically, antibiotics are used for cats for infection, but in order to choose the right drug, you need to do all the necessary tests and diagnose the disease.

Everyone knows that the use of antibiotics can have both its advantages and disadvantages. After all, these drugs not only relieve the disease, but also often harm the animal’s body. To avoid unpleasant consequences, you need to know which antibiotic will help with a specific disease.

Advantages of using antibacterial drugs:

quickly improves the animal's condition;
the effect is achieved by using small doses of the medicine;
if the instructions are followed, side effects are almost excluded;
antibacterial drugs have a wide spectrum of action;
the antimicrobial effect is maintained even in the presence of a large number of harmful microorganisms.

Antibacterial therapy is carried out under the strict supervision of a specialist. This will help minimize possible side effects. When prescribing a particular drug, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the cat’s body and pay attention to contraindications for use.

The disadvantages of antibiotics include:

long-term use causes the body to become accustomed to the drug;
an incorrectly calculated dosage leads to serious health consequences and even death of the animal;
frequent use of such drugs reduces immunity;
in case of individual intolerance to the components of the drug, allergies or stomach upset may occur;
Side effects are common.

When treating with antibiotics, it should be remembered that they kill not only harmful, pathogenic bacteria, but also beneficial microorganisms. And this, in turn, leads to disruption of the intestinal microflora and the appearance of negative reactions in the body.

There are many antibacterial drugs for animals, and only a competent doctor can prescribe the medicine correctly. After all, such drugs should be used only in exceptional cases when conventional drugs stop working. So, what antibiotics should you give your cat so as not to harm it?

Amikacin. One of the most powerful and effective antibacterial drugs. It is prescribed for infectious diseases caused by Klebsiella, Salmonella or Escherichia coli. Amikacin is used when other drugs of this kind do not help. The drug is administered intramuscularly at a rate of 5-10 mg/kg of cat weight, with an interval of 8 hours.

Gentamicin. This is an antibiotic from the aminoglycoside group, which is effective only against gram-negative microorganisms. The use of the drug is unacceptable in sick, weakened or elderly animals suffering from nephrotic diseases. In addition, Gentamicin may cause hearing problems.

Neomycin. A drug with a wide spectrum of action that is effective against all infectious diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as skin infections caused by staphylococcus. Can be used externally, as an ointment, for boils, abscesses or burns, orally, as a water-soluble powder for drinking, and intramuscularly. The drug is recommended to be used at a dosage of 10 mg/kg, three times a day, for 3-7 days. It does not accumulate in the body and is completely eliminated within 8 hours after administration.

Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. The combination of these two components is a highly effective drug Amoxiclav. Antibiotics for cats in tablets are used more often than in injections or suspensions. Amoxiclav is available both in tablets and in the form of an injection solution. Tablets are given to cats in quarters per 5 kg, every 12 hours, for 10 days. For cystitis, dermatitis or infections of the respiratory system, the duration of treatment is slightly increased.

Enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin. Enrofloxacin is available as an injection solution. The drug belongs to the group of fluoroquinols and has a detrimental effect on almost all types of bacteria. It is used in the treatment of any secondary, viral and mixed infections. The dosage will be about 0.5 ml of the finished solution per 5 kg of weight.

Ciprofloxacin is produced in two dosage forms: tablets and solution for intramuscular injection. It is effective against bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, chlamydia and mycoplasma, staphylococci, enterobacteria, streptococci, etc. This is also an antibiotic from the fluoroquinol group, the dosage of which is calculated individually, based on the weight of the animal and the severity of the disease.

The combined use of these two drugs has a very strong antibacterial effect, but is contraindicated during pregnancy and in cats with kidney problems.

Tetracycline. An effective antibacterial drug that effectively copes with the treatment of a large number of diseases. It is used for various infectious lesions of the genitourinary system, for pneumonia, pasteurellosis, dysentery, gastroenteritis, etc. Most often, Tetracycline is prescribed for conjunctivitis, herpes, chlamydia. Available in the form of powder, tablets or ointment. It has virtually no side effects, is well tolerated and acts quickly.

You cannot select and use antibiotics to treat your cat on your own. Do not forget that antibiotics pose a serious burden on the body. Therefore, their use must be justified, and they are prescribed as a last resort. It is important to remember that antibiotics do not help in the treatment of fungal infections, since this is dangerous due to the development of complications and the appearance of secondary infections.

Release forms of Tsiprovet for cats

For convenience and maximum effectiveness of treatment, 3 dosage forms have been developed. This allows you to influence the pathogen, both directly at the place of its localization, and on the scale of the entire cat’s body.

Ciprovet tablets for cats , having a biconvex round shape, are coated with a yellow coating and packaged in blisters of 10 units. 1 tablet, weighing 0.2 g, contains 15 mg of active substance.

Eye drops look like a clear, colorless liquid that may have a yellowish tint. They are produced in polymer or glass bottles with a capacity of 1, 5 and 10 cm3, placed in individual cardboard packaging.

5% injection solution placed in dark glass containers with a volume of 10 cm3. Each bottle is packaged in a separate cardboard box and supplied with instructions.

Note! In pharmacies there are packages of the injection solution in volumes of 20, 50, 100 and even 200 ml, designed for large animals. But since opened bottles can only be stored for 3 weeks, it is not advisable to purchase them for cats.

Storage conditions

Each form of Ciproveat for cats has certain differences in storage conditions.

Ciprovet tablets can be stored for four years at a temperature range of 0 to 25°C, in a dry place, in the original packaging to prevent exposure to sunlight.

Ophthalmic drops are stored for 3 years in a closed bottle, and no more than a month after opening it. The room temperature should be kept between 5 and 25°C.

The 5% solution for injection retains its pharmacological characteristics for only 2 years. Once the container is opened, it can be stored for 21 days. The bottle must be placed in a dark place with a temperature of 5 to 25%.

Note! A change in the color of the tablets or liquid, the appearance of sediment or odor indicates that the drug is not suitable for use and must be disposed of.

Tsiprovet should not be stored in the refrigerator together with food. You should also avoid accidental contact with the gastrointestinal tract or the mucous membranes of a child or pet.

Feedback from cat owners

>Ciprovet for cats, puppies and small breed dogs, 10 tablets. COMPOSITION AND PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES Contains ciprofloxacin and a prebiotic as active ingredients. Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (15 mg/tablet for cats and 50 mg/tablet for dogs), which is part of the drug, belongs to the group of fluoroquinolones and has a wide spectrum of antibacterial action; active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including Echerichia coli, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Proteus spp., Yersinia spp, Haemophilus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pasteurella multocida, Plesiomonas shigelloides, Campylobacter jejuni, Brucella spp., Chlamydia trachomatis, Listeria monocytogenes, Mycobacterium spp., Corynebacterium diphtheriase, Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. The prebiotic lactulose is a synthetic polysaccharide, is not hydrolyzed by the body's digestive enzymes, and is fermented in the large intestine by normal microflora, stimulating the growth of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. INDICATIONS FOR USE For dogs and cats for therapeutic purposes in case of chronic and acute bacterial infections of the gastrointestinal tract, biliary tract, respiratory organs, genitourinary system, skin and soft tissues, bones and joints, as well as secondary infections due to viral diseases caused by sensitive to ciprofloxacin. CONTRAINDICATIONS For females during pregnancy and lactation, animals with severe developmental disorders of cartilage tissue, with lesions of the nervous system, accompanied by convulsions, as well as puppies and kittens before the end of the growth period. It should not be used simultaneously with bacteriostatic antibiotics (chloramphenicol, macrolides and tetracyclines), theophylline and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as with drugs containing magnesium, aluminum and calcium cations, which, by binding to ciprofloxacin, prevent its adsorption. SIDE EFFECTS If the animal has increased individual sensitivity to fluorophinolones, refusal of food, vomiting, swelling, and loss of coordination of movements are possible. If side effects occur, stop using the drug and carry out desensitizing therapy. DOSES AND ORDER OF APPLICATION: Apply to animals individually orally once a day for 3 - 5 days in the following doses: • cats - 1 tablet “for cats” for every 3 kg of animal weight;

• dogs – 1 tablet “for dogs” for every 10 kg of animal weight. STORAGE Store the drug in the manufacturer's packaging, in a place protected from direct sunlight, at a temperature of 0 to 25°C. RELEASE FORM Tablets packaged in blisters of 10 pieces. External packaging – cardboard box.

Treatment of bacterial and viral infections in dogs must be carried out with effective antibiotics that can act on a wide range of microorganisms. One of the most popular antibiotics in veterinary medicine is ciprofloxacin. On its basis, the veterinary drug Ciprovet is produced in the form of tablets and eye drops.

A distinctive feature of Tsiprovet is the presence of the prebiotic lactulose in its composition. The prebiotic protects the intestines from dysbiosis, the risk of which appears when taking any antibiotics. Lactulose promotes the growth of beneficial bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, which increase the dog’s immunity and help fight pathogenic microflora.

Ciprovet is active against a number of bacteria: Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, Chlamydia, Salmonella, Mycobacterium, Enterobacter, Proteus, Listeria, Klebsiella and other gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Thus, Tsiprovet can be prescribed for almost any disease in dogs caused by a bacterial or viral infection.

Indications for use

The injection solution and tablet form of Tsiprovet are prescribed after the following pathologies are detected:

gastrointestinal diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria;
infectious lesions of the liver and biliary system;
diseases of the respiratory and genitourinary systems caused by bacterial microflora;
inflammation and degenerative changes in cartilage and joints caused by infectious agents;
purulent inflammation of the skin (abscesses, cellulitis, boils);
infected wounds and postoperative sutures;
secondary bacterial infections against the background of viral diseases, dermatitis, injuries, postoperative complications, etc.

In gynecological practice, this drug is used to treat metritis, endometritis, postpartum septicemia, and mastitis.

Important! During the period of antibacterial therapy, puppies are separated from the female and transferred to artificial feeding. This is a necessity, as it helps prevent infection of the offspring and speed up the recovery of the cat’s body.

Indications for the use of eye drops are:

bacterial and chlamydial conjunctivitis;
blepharitis;
keratitis;
inflammation of the eyelids, cornea or iris of a bacterial nature;
ulcers formed on the cornea of the eye as a result of the activity of pathogenic microflora;
damage to the organs of vision by mechanical, thermal or chemical agents.

Ophthalmic drops are prescribed before surgery in the eye area, as well as in the postoperative period to prevent infection of the wound surface.

Note! Before starting treatment, a very important factor is making an accurate diagnosis and determining the nature of the disease. This is explained by the fact that antibacterial therapy is powerless against pathologies caused by viruses and protozoa.

Concept and classification of antibiotics

Antibiotics are commonly called drugs that fight various infections caused by microbes, viruses and bacteria. In some cases, it will not be possible to do without antibacterial drugs. There are two types of antibiotics: bacteriostatics and bactericides:

The first ones inhibit the development and reproduction of bacteria, as a result of which they die and are gradually eliminated from the body naturally.
The second group of drugs quickly destroys all pathogenic bacteria.

The choice of antibiotics directly depends on the disease. For example, bactericidal drugs cope well with the most serious infections, such as pyometritis or blood poisoning, ulcers and wounds with pus. But they cannot be used to treat staphylococcus or streptococcus, since they can provoke the appearance of urolithiasis.

There is a classification of antibacterial drugs according to their chemical composition. They can be divided into:

penicillin drugs,
macrolide,
cephalosporins,
levomethicin,
tetracycline drugs,
lincosamides,
glycopeptides,
aminoglycosides.

In addition, antibiotics can be natural, synthetic or mixed. In total, more than 25 varieties of such drugs are used in veterinary practice. They cope well with pathogenic infections and viral diseases.

There are antibacterial agents for local use and general or systemic drugs. The latter include all medications administered inside the body: intravenously, orally, intramuscularly. They are considered the most effective and fastest-acting. Local antibiotics are products used externally: on the skin or mucous membranes.

Instructions for use of Tsiprovet

When starting a therapeutic course, you should understand that its effectiveness largely depends on compliance with the instructions for use of Tsiprovet. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly follow the scheme developed by a veterinarian after examining the animal and obtaining laboratory results (if necessary).

Pills

You can make the task of feeding your cat Tsiprovet tablets easier by thoroughly crushing them and mixing them with a small amount of your favorite treat. The neutral taste of the drug will not change the taste characteristics of the food, so it will be easily eaten even by picky pets.

The main feeding should be carried out no earlier than 20 minutes after using the antibiotic.

Eye drops

Most ophthalmological diseases are accompanied by the release of purulent or bloody exudate, resulting in the formation of dried or weeping crusts on the eyes.

Before using eye drops, these contaminants must be removed with a clean gauze swab moistened with a weak antiseptic or Tsiprovet solution.

Important! If the doctor has prescribed several eye medications, at least five minutes should pass between each use.

Dosage of the drug

The manufacturer's recommended dosage of Ciprovet tablets for cats is 1 tablet per 3 kg of live weight of the animal. However, the veterinarian can make adjustments based on the physiological state of the animal. The maximum duration of treatment is 5 days.

Tsiprovet ophthalmic drops are used 4 to 8 times a day, depending on the severity of the lesion. To do this, apply 1 drop to the area of the lacrimal sac of both eyes of the cat.

Note! This procedure is unpleasant, so the cat will try to avoid it and escape from the owner’s hands. To protect yourself from getting scratches and bites, you should carry out this manipulation together, when one person firmly fixes the animal, and the other applies the drug.

The course of treatment is from 1 to 2 weeks. The indicator is the complete absence of clinical symptoms of the disease for 2-3 days. If relapses occur, treatment is repeated according to the same scheme.

A 5% solution for injection is used in cases of severe septic form of the pathology, as well as when it is impossible to feed the tablet form of the drug. The dosage is 1 cm3 per 10 kg of cat’s live weight once a day. The course of therapy should not exceed 5 days.

The injection solution can be administered subcutaneously and intramuscularly, using sterile instruments and following all antiseptic rules.

Eye drop solution

Tsiprovet eye drop solution looks like a clear, colorless and odorless liquid. The manufacturer packages the solution in plastic or glass bottles of 1, 5 and 10 ml. Original Tsiprovet drops are packaged one at a time in cardboard boxes.

Sediment, turbidity and impurities in the solution are a sign that the medicine is not suitable for use.

Indications

Tsiprovet drops are used to suppress harmful microflora in the eyes.

"Tsiprovet" is prescribed for cats if they are diagnosed with:

acute, sluggish or purulent inflammation of the cornea of the eye, the mucous membrane of the eyelids;
acute or chronic form of inflammation of the conjunctiva of the eye;
mechanical damage to the eyes (injuries, punctures, etc.);
ulcerative lesions of the surface of the cornea or the inside of the eyelids;
inflammatory processes in the iris that are caused by bacteria.

Ciprovet drops should be used as prescribed by a veterinarian.

Ciprovet drops are used for cats that are preparing for or have undergone eye surgery, as a prophylaxis against infectious inflammatory processes.

The drops cost about 135 rubles.

Contraindications

The Tsiprovet eye drop solution acts exclusively locally. It is not absorbed into the blood or lymph and its action is limited to the structures of the eye. Therefore, there are few restrictions on its use compared to tablets.

Ciprovet drops should not be used for cats with increased susceptibility to fluoroquinolone antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, moxifloxacin).

If Ciprovet drops are prescribed for cats for the first time and they have not been given antibiotics of a similar composition before, it is necessary to check whether there is a reaction to the drug. To do this, the cat is given one drop of the solution and observed for 20 minutes. If after this time the redness does not increase and the cat is not worried, the use of the medicine is safe.

Do not use Tsiprovet drops for kittens that are less than a week old.

After using a full dose of the drug, the cat may feel a burning sensation - rub its eyes with its paw or rub its head against other objects. Unpleasant sensations and lacrimation usually go away on their own after 5-7 minutes.

If the cat continues to worry for a longer period of time, you should rinse the treated eye with warm, sterile saline and alert your veterinarian.

Tsiprovet should be used for cats with pathologies of the blood supply to the brain with caution and under the supervision of a veterinarian.

Interaction with other drugs

The active ingredient "Tsiprovet" is not stable and is easily destroyed, so it is important not to mix it with other medications. Ciprofloxacin loses its effectiveness in an acidic environment after contact with drugs that contain various metals.

Usage diagram

Due to the instability of ciproflosacin, Ciprovet drops for cats are used no earlier than 5 minutes after using other medications.

Typically, “Tsiprovet” for cats is dripped into the affected eye 4-5 times a day, 1 drop at a time, trying to get under the eyelid. Afterwards, cover the treated eye with your hand so that the medicine is distributed evenly.

You can use other drops 5–7 minutes after Tsiprovet.

In acute cases, you can apply the medicine more often, up to 8 times a day.

If there is a lot of mucus or pus in the sore eye, before dropping Ciprovet, the eye is washed with warm saline solution and wiped to clean it as much as possible. After such preparation, 3 drops of medicine are dripped into the eye, blotted with a sterile napkin and another 1 drop is added.

Side effects

Side effects of using Tsiprovet that occur as a result of an overdose or individual intolerance to the drug include:

vomit;
diarrhea;
lameness;
refusal to feed or loss of appetite;
skin rashes;
itching;
swelling or tenderness at the injection site, which goes away within 1-3 days.

If, after using the medicine, your pet experiences a fever, difficulty breathing, or nervous symptoms, you should immediately give him an antihistamine and contact the clinic.

The use of eye drops may cause short-term redness and a burning sensation lasting no more than 5-10 minutes.

If your cat experiences excessive lacrimation, increasing itching, hyperemia or swelling, then you should stop using the product and give an antihistamine to neutralize the allergy symptoms.

Pros and cons of the drug

Tsiprovet is classified as a moderately dangerous drug, so it has received approval among specialists in the field of veterinary medicine and is used everywhere.

Positive aspects of using an anti-inflammatory drug:

Wide spectrum of action (kills several bacteria at the same time).
The components that make up the medicine are moderately dangerous to the life and health of pets.
Has no side effects.
Has a long-term therapeutic effect.
It is quickly eliminated from the body.
Availability of purchase (it can be purchased at any veterinary pharmacy).
Loyal price.

What can be said about the negative aspects of the drug?

There are a number of contraindications.
Fluoroquinolols (the component ciprofloxacin belongs to this group) have no natural analogues.
Strict adherence to dosages.

Contraindications

The following contraindications exist for the use of Tsiprovet tablets and solution for injection:

individual immunity;
period of gestation and breastfeeding;
age up to 6 months;
nervous phenomena (convulsions, paralysis);
degenerative changes in cartilage and bone tissue;
dysfunction of the liver and kidneys.

It is prohibited to use Tsiprovet in combination with other antibiotics, drugs containing metal ions, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Eye drops have significantly fewer contraindications. They should not be used if there is increased sensitivity to the components of the drug and if the cat has pathologies of cerebral circulation.

Baytril: indications

There were no side effects when using the medication. Slight redness of the eyes after using the drops is typical.

The drug is contraindicated in:

hypersensitivity to the main component (ciprofloxacin);
periods of gestation and feeding for female cats;
use with certain antibiotics (bacteriostatic group);
pathologies of the connection and development of cartilage in animals;
kittens up to 7 months of age or until the end of their growth period;
various lesions of the nervous and endocrine systems (convulsions and other manifestations);
elderly pet;
liver failure in cats.

Numerous reviews of the anti-inflammatory drug Ciprovet for cats in tablets and eye drops indicate its high effectiveness and the absence of side effects.

The drug Tsiprovet usually does not have side effects on the cat’s body if you follow the doctor’s prescriptions. In some cases, after taking tablets or drops, slight changes in the behavior of animals may be observed (poor appetite, uncoordinated movements, vomiting). This is due to increased sensitivity to the components of the drug. To stop adverse reactions, they stop giving the medicine, and the veterinarian prescribes restorative therapy.

In some cases, taking the medicine is not allowed. Namely:

there are disturbances in cartilaginous tissues;
diseases of the nervous system and the presence of seizures were detected;
lactating and pregnant cats;
Do not use on kittens during growth.

When using drops, cats may experience adverse reactions such as burning eyes, tingling, increased tearing and reddening of the whites. Such side effects are short-term in nature and are felt in the first few minutes, then disappear. If there is an increase in irritating factors over a long period, you should consult a doctor.

Ciprovet is well tolerated by most cats. Such conclusions can be drawn based on studying the reviews left about the medicine by animal owners. They noted that when the eyes were infected, other prescribed drugs did not have such a positive therapeutic effect as Tsiprovet. We paid attention to the cessation of symptoms of the disease during the first course; it is also important that the price of the drug is quite reasonable.

Most often, this drug is used to treat diseases classified as infectious. It also has an antibacterial effect.

It is noteworthy that inflammatory processes and purulent foci do not interfere with the action of the drug. It is used for:

bacterial diseases of the respiratory system;
lesions of the gastrointestinal tract;
diseases of the genitourinary system;
salmonellosis;
streptococcosis;
septicemia;
colibacillosis.

These are not all diseases for which Baytril can be used. Cats are treated with a weak solution of 2.5%, and for dogs a 5% concentration of the drug can be used.

Analogues of Tsiprovet for cats

Analogues of Ciprovet can be considered drugs whose active ingredient is ciprofloxacin. From the extensive list we can highlight eye drops:

Tsifran;
Ciprolone;
Tsiprolet;
Phloximed;
Tsipromed.

Analogues of Tsiprovet, produced in the form of solution and tablets, include:

Cypronate;
Tsiprosil;
Ciprobid;
Ciprosol;
Ciprodox;
Tsipraz and others.

Important! Replacing Tsiprovet with its analogue must be agreed upon with a veterinary specialist.

Description

The active ingredient in Ciprovet is ciprofloxacin in the form of a hydrochloric acid salt, a representative of the second generation of fluoroquinolones. It kills a wide range of pathogens due to its ability to destroy the cell walls of bacteria. In addition, ciprofloxacin is capable of destroying cellular organelles that form resistance to antibiotics. This mechanism of action makes it impossible for bacterial strains that are immune to Ciprovet to appear.

Microorganisms against which “Tsiprovet” is effective:

The causative agent of anthrax;
The causative agent of meningitis;
Staphylococcus aureus, including antibiotic-resistant ones
Strains;
Saprophytic staphylococcus;
Streptococci;
Pasteurella;
Salmonella.

Resistant to the effects of the drug "Tsiprovet":
