Pharmacology and mechanism of action
Florfenicol is a thiamphenicol derivative with the same mechanism of action as chloramphenicol (inhibition of protein synthesis). However, it is more active than either chloramphenicol or thiamphenicol, and may be more bactericidal than previously thought against some pathogens (e.g., BRD pathogens). Florfenicol has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity that includes all organisms sensitive to chloramphenicol, gram-negative bacilli, gram-positive cocci, and other atypical bacteria such as mycoplasma.
Indications
For the treatment of bacterial disease caused by sensitive bacteria especially for the treatment of drug-resistant strains
of bacteria induced disease. It is an effective substitute of chloramphenicol injection. It is also used for the treatment of
disease in livestock and fowl caused by pasteurella, pleuropneumonia actinomyceto, streptococcus, colibacillus,
salmonella, pneumococcus, hemophilus, staphylococcus, mycoplasma, chlamydia, leptospira and rickettsia.
