COMPOSITION:
1 ml of product contains API:
ceftiofur HCL – 50 mg;
ketoprofen – 150 mg.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY:
Ceftiofur, a third-generation cephalosporin, effectively combats a broad spectrum of bacteria, including those resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics. It targets both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as some anaerobic strains. Its mechanism involves inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis.
Ketoprofen, classified as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), functions by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis at the cyclooxygenase (COX) level, along with suppressing lipoxygenase activity. It also stabilizes lysosomal membranes and suppresses neutrophil activity. Ketoprofen exerts analgesic effects by acting on both the central and peripheral nervous systems, quickly reducing pain and inflammation.
Upon parenteral administration, ceftiofur rapidly absorbs into tissues and achieves peak plasma concentrations within an hour, maintaining therapeutic levels for up to 24 hours. It undergoes metabolism to desfural-ceftiofur, an active metabolite that retains efficacy even in necrotic tissues, before being eliminated via urine and feces.
Ketoprofen demonstrates rapid absorption and high protein binding, with significant accumulation in synovial fluid. Liver metabolism produces biologically active metabolites, with 90% of the drug excreted through urine as glucuronide compounds.
APPLICATION:
