Zeniquin is indicated for the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections, urinary tract infections, and respiratory tract infections caused by susceptible bacteria in dogs and cats. A veterinarian will determine if this medication is appropriate based on culture and sensitivity testing when possible.
Zeniquin contains marbofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone that works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes. These enzymes are essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, and repair, ultimately leading to bacterial cell death.
Zeniquin is for veterinary use only and should not be used in young animals during rapid growth stages, as fluoroquinolones may affect cartilage development. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances. Use with caution in animals with known seizures or CNS disorders. Always complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your veterinarian.
