Ceff-P (1 g)

Description

Ceff-P (ceftiofur sodium for injection) is a prescription antibiotic medication used in veterinary medicine to treat bacterial infections in various animals, including cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, and horses. It is administered through injection and works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Ceff-P belongs to a class of antibiotics known as cephalosporins.

Here’s a more detailed explanation of Ceff-P:

• Mechanism of Action: Ceff-P works by interfering with the bacteria’s cell wall synthesis. A cell wall is essential for a bacterium’s survival. By inhibiting cell wall formation, Ceff-P prevents bacteria from growing and multiplying, ultimately leading to their death.
• Applications: Ceff-P is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria, making it a valuable tool for veterinarians in treating various infections. Common applications include respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and foot infections in animals.
• Important Considerations: Ceff-P is a prescription medication and should only be used under the guidance of a licensed veterinarian. It is crucial to follow the veterinarian’s dosing instructions and complete the entire course of treatment, even if the animal starts to feel better. Early termination of therapy can lead to antibiotic resistance, making it harder to treat future infections.
• Potential Side Effects: As with all medications, Ceff-P can cause side effects in some animals. Common side effects include injection site reactions (pain, swelling), diarrhea, and vomiting. If you notice any concerning side effects in your animal after receiving Ceff-P, consult your veterinarian immediately.
