Cefovecin is a third generation cephalosporin with a broad-spectrum of activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Cefovecin differs from other cephalosporins in that it is highly protein bound and has a long duration of activity. As with all cephalosporins, the bactericidal action of cefovecin results from the inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis through binding to the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). It is indicated for the treatment of skin infections secondary superficial pyoderma, abscesses and wounds. Some gastrointestinal adverse effects like vomiting, anorexia or diarrhea were observed.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

A single injection of 8 mg/kg body weight. A second injection of 8 mg/kg may be administered if response to therapy is not complete.

Route of Administration: Other

In Vitro Use Guide

The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined for 45 clinical Pasteurella multocida isolates from infections in cats using applicable Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) standards. The MIC90 for P. multocida was ≤ 0.06 ug/mL.
