Zeniquin is a synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial. It's indicated for the treatment of infections associated with bacteria susceptible to marbofloxacin. Zeniquin requires a prescription from your veterinarian.
DIRECTIONS: Give this medication exactly as directed by your veterinarian. Give all of the medication your veterinarian has prescribed. Symptoms may start to improve before the infection is completely treated. The usual dose of Zeniquin for dogs and cats is 1.25mg per pound given once a day, but the dosage may be increased to 2.5mg per pound. Treatment should continue for a maximum of 30 days; however, if there is no improvement after 5 days, your pet should be reevaluated. If you do not understand the directions ask the pharmacist or veterinarian to explain them to you. Store Zeniquin at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
SIDE EFFECTS: Stop giving the medication and seek emergency veterinary medical attention if your pet experiences an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue or face; or hives). Other less serious side effects may also occur. Continue to give the medication and talk to your veterinarian if your pet experiences loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, or drowsiness. Side effects other than those listed may occur. Talk to your veterinarian about any side effect that seems unusual or bothersome to the pet.
CAUTION(S): Tell your veterinarian if your pet has seizures or other central nervous system disorders, or if your pet is breeding, pregnant, or lactating. Do not give Zeniquin to pets that may be allergic to it or other fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Do not give Zeniquin within two hours of administering Carafate (sucralfate), antacids, or foods and vitamin/mineral products containing iron, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, or zinc. Keep this medication away from children and pets.
