Description

 Baytril ® is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic designed for the treatment of bacterial infections in dogs, including those affecting the urinary tract, respiratory system, and skin. Available in tablet form (22.7 mg, 68 mg, 136 mg) and as a 2.27% injectable solution, Baytril offers powerful, fast-acting antimicrobial therapy with high tissue penetration and excellent renal and dermal tolerance.

Baytril is especially effective for urinary tract infections (UTIs) as it rapidly concentrates in the urine, prostate, and inflamed tissues. It also demonstrates potent activity in respiratory infections, achieving high therapeutic levels in pulmonary tissues and phagocytic cells—making it ideal for bronchitis, pneumonia, and related conditions. For dermal and soft tissue infections, Baytril provides broad coverage against pathogens such as Staphylococcus intermedius, E. coli, Proteus mirabilis, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Baytril Taste Tabs® offer a palatable, flavored option that supports easier administration—perfect for pets who resist traditional tablets.

Description

Designed for the management of bacterial pathogens in dogs, Baytril ^® is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone. Available in an injectable solution at 2.27% and tablet form.

Why Baytril?

• Baytril (enrofloxacin) in urinary tract infections
  • Baytril has a broad spectrum of action which covers both Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria. Baytril exhibits rapid bactericidal action in the urinary tract. ¹
  • Baytril concentrates in the urine via renal excretion, glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion. It also penetrates and reaches several times the serum concentration in the prostate, the mucosal epithelium and the inflamed tissues.²
  • Baytril displays excellent renal tolerance and allows effective management of acute or chronic infections of the genito-urinary tract including the prostate.²
• Baytril in respiratory infections
  • Baytril irreversibly inhibits bacterial gyrase, a key enzyme in bacterial replication, resulting in rapid destruction of the pathogens. Baytril concentrates in tissues, fluids and phagocytic cells of the respiratory system. Its potent bactericidal effect is achieved even at low concentrations.³
  • Baytril attains excellent therapeutic concentrations in pulmonary and bronchial tissues, secretions and phagocytic cells. These properties are of great value in the treatment of conditions such as acute and chronic respiratory infections like bronchitis and pneumonia, where the penetration of the antibacterial agent makes the difference in the speed of control of the infections.^3,4
• Baytril for dermal infections
• Baytril concentrates in inflamed tissue providing high drug levels at the site of infection. It is an excellent antibacterial agent, effective against: Staphylococcus intermedius, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Baytril Taste Tabs

• Baytril (enrofloxacin) Taste Tabs make medicating pets more convenient than ever.
  • Baytril Taste Tabs. The first veterinary antimicrobial tablets with flavor enhancement — allows for self-take or conventional dosing (pilling) options.
