Safelox OD Bolus, 2 Tablets

Broad-Spectrum Bactericidal Action: Safelox OD targets and eliminates a wide range of Gram-negative bacteria including E. coli, Pasteurella multocida, Klebsiella spp., Mannheimia haemolytica, Salmonella spp. and selected Gram-positive organisms including Staphylococcus aureus and Mycoplasma spp.

Once-Daily Dosing (OD Formula): The 200mg bolus strength is engineered for single daily administration in large animals, reducing handling stress, improving compliance, and simplifying treatment protocols on farm.

Rapid Absorption & Tissue Penetration: Enrofloxacin is quickly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributes into all major body tissues and fluids including lungs, kidneys, skin, uterus, and joints achieving therapeutic concentrations within 1 to 2 hours of dosing.

Dual Elimination Pathway: Eliminated via both renal and hepatic routes, allowing effective use even in animals with mildly compromised kidney function without significant dosage adjustment.

Targets Multiple Infection Sites: Clinically effective for respiratory tract infections (BRD), gastrointestinal infections, urinary tract infections, mastitis (E. coli-associated), Mycoplasma-induced arthritis in calves, metritis, and skin/wound infections.

Active Metabolite Advantage: Metabolised in the liver to ciprofloxacin, an equally potent active metabolite, extending the drug's antibacterial duration and spectrum beyond the parent compound alone.
