What is the drug Ciprovet

The Russian-made veterinary drug Tsiprovet is widely used for effective therapy of various bacterial infections (primarily eye diseases) in domestic animals, including cats.

Ciprovet for cats is available in tablets and drops

Structure

The active ingredient of the drug Ciprovet is the compound ciprofloxacin hydrochloride - a universal antibiotic with a fairly wide range of purposes.

One tablet of the drug contains 15 milligrams of this substance in combination with auxiliary components:

• polyvinylpyrrolidone;
• calcium stearate;
• lactolose.

Release form

The antibacterial drug Ciprovet is available in tablet form, as well as in the form of eye drops. One blister contains ten tablets in a yellowish shell. The volume of a bottle with eye drops is ten milliliters. Medicines are provided with detailed instructions and packed in cardboard boxes.

Mechanism of action

The active compound ciprofloxacin belongs to the group of fluoroquinolones and has a pronounced antibacterial effect. Getting into the body of a sick cat, the medicine quickly paralyzes the vital activity of pathogens parasitizing in it.

Active substances in the composition of Tsiprovet allow to treat a wide range of diseases

With oral administration of Ciprovet (in the form of tablets), the drug is absorbed through the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract and the active substances are distributed throughout the body:

• through the lymph;
• through the placenta;
• into the eye fluid.

Ciprovet eye drops are used in a targeted manner - in ophthalmology. When instilled, the drug enters the tissues of the eye and effectively “works” there, providing antibacterial and antileptic effects.

Indications for use

The tablet form of Tsiprovet has a wide range of therapeutic applications. The drug is recommended for the treatment of primary and secondary infections:

• skin;
• digestive tract;
• respiratory system;
• biliary tract;
• genitourinary organs;
• musculoskeletal system.

Ciprovet in the form of eye drops is used for cats for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes:

• as part of the complex therapy of various ophthalmic diseases;
• for the fastest recovery of the eye after injuries;
• in order to prevent complications in the pre- and postoperative periods.

How to use the remedy Ciprovet correctly

The duration of the therapeutic effect of Ciprovet tablets is about a day. The therapeutic effect of eye drops is shorter and usually does not exceed six hours.

Preparation and Precautions

Remember that Ciprovet is toxic in any of its dosage forms. The use of the drug, its doses and treatment regimens must be agreed with the veterinarian, and when using Tsiprovet, safety measures must be strictly observed - ignoring them can harm not only the cat, but also its owner.

1. Do not eat or drink water at the same time as giving Ciprovet to your cat.
2. Do not allow direct contact of the medicine with food and utensils, which you will then use for your needs.
3. Dispose of used drug containers immediately.
4. Wash your hands thoroughly after treating the animal with Ciprovet.
5. At the slightest manifestation of an allergic reaction, consult a doctor immediately.

Before using Ciprovet drops, the cat's eyes and the hair around them must be cleaned

Dosage

It is not difficult to calculate the usual dosage of Ciprovet tablets based on the weight of the animal: one tablet is relied on for three kilograms of weight. It is enough to give the medicine once a day. Instillation of eyes, depending on the diagnosis, is performed three to four times a day; single dosage - one or two drops.

Duration of treatment

Oral administration of Tsiprovet is most often prescribed in a short course - from three to five days, but the doctor may recommend a longer treatment, based on the disease and individual characteristics of your pet. The therapeutic course of treatment with eye instillation solution varies from one to two weeks.

How to bury eyes with solution

Treatment of cats' eyes with Ciprovet is complicated by the fact that the use of these drops causes a short-term burning effect, which is poorly tolerated by emotional, pain-sensitive animals.

If your pet has a calm character, then it is enough to caress him before the procedure and lightly but reliably fix the paws and muzzle - so that the eyes are buried successfully. An obstinate or aggressive cat, which is ready for any tricks, just not to allow you to perform the necessary manipulation, is a completely different matter.

But even in this case, there is a simple and very effective way out. It is necessary to lift the stubborn woman by the skin in the area of the withers - just like mother cats transfer their little kittens from place to place. The reflex will work flawlessly - even the most disobedient animal will become malleable for a few minutes, and this time will be enough for you for the treatment procedure.

The bottle with drops Tsiprovet is very convenient to use

If after five to ten minutes after using Ciprovet drops, the burning sensation has not passed and the cat continues to show concern, you should show it to the doctor - perhaps your pet has an individual intolerance to the drug. However, this issue should be clarified in advance - the doctor will tell you how to test the medicine for the absence of an allergic reaction.

How to give pills to your cat

Holding the cat by the withers is very convenient to give her pills. However, many owners adhere to a different "method" and simply swaddle their pet, like a small child, in dense fabric. The animal immobilized in this way cannot resist and scratch, and the owner will only have to open his mouth and feed the pill.

Be sure to check if your cat has swallowed the pill.
