Marbocyl P is relatively recently developed antibiotic for use in dogs and cats. It has a broad spectrum of activity and can be used in infections affecting the skin, respiratory system, urinary systems and other soft tissues. Appropriate culture and sensitivity testing of the infectious agent is advised where possible. For mild and localised infections a course lasting a few days is all that is needed, but some infections, such as those involving the deeper layers of the skin, will require a course lasting several weeks. Marbocyl tablets should be given once daily

Pharmacodynamic properties:
Marbofloxacin is a synthetic, bactericidal antimicrobial, belonging to the fluoroquinolone group which acts by inhibition of DNA gyrase. It is effective against a wide range of Gram positive bacteria (in particular Staphylococci) and Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter cloacae, Serratia marcescens, Morganella morganii, Proteus spp, Klebsiella spp, Shigella spp, Pasteurella spp, Haemophilus spp, Moraxella spp, Pseudomonas spp) as well as Mycoplasma spp.
Pharmacokinetic properties:
After subcutaneous or intramuscular administration in cattle and intramuscular administration in pigs at the recommended dose of 2mg/kg, marbofloxacin is readily absorbed and reaches maximal plasma concentrations of 1.5microgram/ml within less than 1 hour. Its bioavailability is close to 100%. It is weakly bound to plasma proteins (less than 10% in pigs and 30% in cattle), extensively distributed and in most tissues (liver, kidney, skin, lung, bladder, uterus, digestive tract) it achieves a higher concentration than in plasma.
In cattle, marbofloxacin is eliminated slowly in pre-ruminating calves (t1/2β = 5-9h) but faster in ruminant cattle (t1/2β = 4-7h) predominantly in the active form in urine (¾ in pre-ruminating calves, ½ in ruminants) and faeces (¼ in pre-ruminating calves, ½ in ruminants).
In pigs, marbofloxacin is eliminated slowly (t1/2β = 8-10h) predominantly in the active form in urine (2/3) and faeces (1/3).

Presentation
Each Marbocyl Bolus 50mg Tablet contains:
Marbofloxacin | 50.00mg |
|
|
Uses
Marbofloxacin bolus is indicated in the treatment of neonatal gastro-enteritis caused by Escherichia coli, in calves of 25-50kg.
Dosage and administration
The recommended dosage is 1mg/kg/day (1 bolus per 50kg calf) in a single oral administration per day.
Treatment duration is 3 days.
The bolus can be given manually or with an appropriate applicator.
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Do not exceed the recommended duration of treatment (3 days).
When administration is carried out using an applicator, care should be taken to avoid soft tissue injury.
Official and local antimicrobial policies should be taken into account when the product is used. Fluoroquinolones should be reserved for the treatment of clinical conditions which have responded poorly, to other classes of antimicrobials. Whenever possible, fluoroquinolones should only be used based on susceptibility testing. Use of the product deviating from the instructions given in the SPC may increase the prevalence of bacteria resistant to the fluoroquinolones and may decrease the effectiveness of treatment with other quinolones due to the potential for cross resistance.
At the recommended dosage, no undesirable effect is expected. At twice the dosage, a reversible, short term decrease of the intestinal Enterobacteriaceae population can occur, as well as faecal softening, but this is without clinical consequence as the balance of aerobes/anaerobes is not affected.
A greenish coloration of the faeces is sometimes observed, but this is reversible when the treatment is discontinued.
Concurrent administration of oral preparations which contain a high proportion of divalent cations may reduce marbofloxacin activity.
At four times the recommend dosage, a marked, reversible decrease in the intestinal Enterobacteriaceae population was observed. Diarrhoea can occur at higher dosages, as is known to occur for other oral antibiotics administered to neonatal animals. Further administration of marbofloxacin must be stopped and symptomatic treatment instituted.
Operator warning
People with known hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolones should avoid using this product. Wash hands after use.
Withdrawal periods

Further information
Pharmacodynamic properties
Marbofloxacin is a synthetic, bactericidal antimicrobial, belonging to the fluoroquinolone group which acts by inhibition of DNA gyrase. Fluoroquinolones act by concentration-dependent killing mechanism, so high plasma concentration initially is important (see below). It is effective against a wide range of Gram positive bacteria (in particular Staphylococci) and Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Campylobacter jejunii, Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter cloacae, Serratia marcescens, Morganella morganii, Proteus spp, Klebsiella spp, Shigella spp, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Bordetella brochiseptica, Pasteurella haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, Haemophilus spp, Moraxella spp, Pseudomonas spp, Brucella canis) as well as Mycoplasma (Mycoplasma bovis, Mycoplasma dispar, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae). The bactericidal activity of marbofloxacin is concentration dependant on Gram–negative strains and time dependant on Gram-positive strains.
Pharmacokinetic properties
After oral administration to calves at the recommended dose of 1mg/kg, marbofloxacin is quite slowly absorbed and its bioavailability is close to 100%. It is weakly bound to plasma proteins (about 30% in calves), extensively distributed and in most tissues (liver, kidney, skin, lung, bladder, digestive tract) it achieves higher concentrations than in plasma.
After an oral administration, marbofloxacin is eliminated slowly in calves (t1/2β = 8.50 ± 2.88h) predominately in urine (72-81%) and faeces (5-13%) and in active form.

Pharmacodynamic properties
Marbofloxacin is a synthetic, bactericidal antimicrobial, belonging to the fluoroquinolone group, which acts by inhibition of DNA gyrase. It has a broad-spectrum activity in vitro against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
The marbofloxacin in vitro activity against pathogens isolated in 2004 from bovine respiratory diseases during a clinical field trial in France, Germany, Spain and Belgium, is good: MIC values are comprised between 0.015 and 0.25 µg/ml for M.haemolytica (MIC 90 = 0.124 µg/ml; MIC50 = 0.025 µg/ml), between 0.004 and 0.12 µg/ml for P. multocida (MIC90 = 0.022 µg/ml; MIC50 = 0.009 µg/ml),and between 0.015 and 2 µg/ml for Histophilus somni. Strains with MIC <= 1 µg/ml are sensitive to marbofloxacin whereas strains with MIC >= 4 µg/ml are resistant to marbofloxacin.
Resistance to fluoroquinolones occurs by chromosomal mutation with three mechanisms: decrease of the bacterial wall permeability, expression of efflux pump or mutation of enzymes responsible for molecule binding.
Pharmacokinetic particulars
After a single intramuscular administration in cattle at the recommended dose of 8 mg/kg, the maximum plasma concentration of marbofloxacin (Cmax) is 7.3 µg/ml reached in = 0.78h (Tmax). Binding to plasma proteins is about 30%. Marbofloxacin is eliminated slowly
(T1/2β = 15.60 h), predominantly in the active form in urine and faeces.

Marbocyl P 80 mg containing 80 mg marbofloxacin. For use in dogs.
Uses
In Dogs
Marbocyl is indicated in the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections (skin fold pyoderma, impetigo, folliculitis, furunculosis, cellulitis), for the treatment of urinary tract infections associated or not with prostatitis and respiratory tract infections, caused by susceptible strains of organisms.
In Cats (Marbocyl P 5mg Tablet only)
Marbocyl is indicated for the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections (wounds, abscesses, phlegmons) and upper respiratory tract infections caused by susceptible strains of organisms.
Dosage and administration
For oral administration. The recommended dose rate is 2 mg/kg per day in a single daily administration. To ensure a correct dosage body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing.
In dogs for the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections, treatment duration is at least five days. Depending on the course of the disease it may be extended up to 40 days. In urinary tract infections, treatment duration is at least 10 days. Depending on the course of the disease it may be extended up to 28 days. In respiratory infections, treatment duration is at least 7 days and, depending on the course of the disease, may be extended up to 21 days.
In cats for the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections, treatment duration is 3–5 days. For upper respiratory infections, treatment duration is 5 days.
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Marbofloxacin should not be used in dogs aged less than 12 months or less than 18 months for exceptionally large breeds of dogs, such as Great Danes, Briard, Bernese, Bouvier and Mastiffs with a longer growth period. Not recommended for use in cats aged less than 16 weeks.
Not suitable for infections resulting from strict anaerobes, yeast or fungi.
Do not use Marbocyl P 20mg or Marbocyl P 80mg tablets in cats. For the treatment of this species the Marbocyl P 5mg tablet is available.
Special precautions for use in animals
The fluoroquinolones have been shown to induce erosion of articular cartilage in juvenile dogs and care should be taken to dose accurately, especially in young animals.
The fluoroquinolones are known for their potential neurological side effects; cautious use is recommended in dogs and cats diagnosed as suffering from epilepsy.
A low urinary pH could have an inhibitory effect on the activity of marbofloxacin.
Fluoroquinolones should be reserved for the treatment of clinical conditions which have responded poorly, or are expected to respond poorly to other classes of antimicrobials. Whenever possible, use of fluoroquinolones should be based on susceptibility testing. Use of the product deviating from the instructions given in the SPC may increase the prevalence of bacteria resistant to the fluoroquinolones and may decrease effectiveness of treatment with other quinolones due to the potential for cross resistance.
Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
At the therapeutic recommended dosage no severe side effects are to be expected in cats and dogs. In particular no lesions of the articular joints were encountered in clinical studies at the recommended dose rate.
Mild side effects such as vomiting, softening of faeces, modification of thirst or transient increase in activity may occasionally occur. These signs cease spontaneously after treatment and do not necessitate cessation of the treatment.
Use during pregnancy and lactation
Studies in pregnant rats and rabbits showed no side effects on pregnancy. However, no specific studies have been carried out in pregnant cats and dogs.
Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Fluoroquinolones are known to interact with orally administered cations (Aluminium, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron.) In such cases, the bioavailability may be reduced.
Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
Overdosage may cause acute signs in the form of neurological disorders which should be treated symptomatically.

Further information
Pharmacodynamic properties
Marbofloxacin is a synthetic bactericidal antimicrobial belonging to the fluoroquinolone group which acts by inhibition of DNA gyrase. It is effective against a wide range of Gram positive bacteria (in particular Staphylococci, Streptococci) and Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter cloacae, Serratia marcescens, Morganella morganii, Proteus spp, Klebsiella spp, Shigella spp, Pasteurella spp, Haemophilus spp, Moraxella spp, Pseudomonas spp, Brucella canis) as well as Mycoplasma spp.
Marbofloxacin is not effective against anaerobes, yeasts or fungi.
Resistance to fluoroquinolones occurs by chromosomal mutation with three mechanisms: decrease of the bacterial wall permeability, expression of the efflux pump or mutation of the enzymes responsible for molecule binding. No significant evolution of resistance to marbofloxacin has been observed in the target pathogenic strains isolated from companion animals since the launch of the molecule on the veterinary market. The occurrence and rate of transfer of a genetic resistance is therefore considered to be very low.
Cross-resistance with ß-lactam antibiotics, aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, macrolide and polypeptide antibiotics, sulfonamides, diaminopyrimidines, and nitrofurans does not generally occur. However, certain mutations conferring resistance to fluoroquinolones can also confer resistance to cephalosporins, tetracyclines, macrolides and chloramphenicol.
Pharmacokinetic properties
After oral administration in dogs and cats at the recommended dose of 2 mg/kg, Marbofloxacin is readily absorbed and reaches maximal plasma concentrations of 1.5 µg/ml within 2 hours. Its bioavailability is close to 100%. It is weakly bound to plasma proteins (<10%), extensively distributed and in most tissues (liver, kidney, skin, lung, bladder, digestive tract) it achieves higher concentrations than in plasma. Marbofloxacin is eliminated slowly (t1/2β= 14h in dogs and 10h in cats) predominately in the active form, in urine (2/3) and faeces (1/3).
