Overview of Cefazolin for dogs and Cats

  • Cefazolin is an antibiotic, commonly known as Kefzol® and Ancef®, of the cephalosporin class. It is related to the penicillin drugs in how it kills bacteria, but cephalosporins have a much broader range of activity against bacteria than penicillins. Cefazolin is used in both dogs and cats to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including skin infections, wound infections, bone infections, pneumonia and bladder infections
  • Cefazolin will prevent the bacteria from forming an adequate and protective cell wall. This results in instability and subsequent death of the bacteria.
  • Cefazolin is a prescription drug and can only be obtained from a veterinarian or by prescription from a veterinarian.
  • This drug is not approved for use in animals by the Food and Drug Administration but it is prescribed legally by veterinarians as an extra-label drug.

    • Brand Names and Other Names of Cefazolin

  • This drug is registered for use in humans only.
  • Human formulations: Kefzol® (Lilly), Ancef® (SKF), Zolicef® (Apothecon) and various generic preparations
  • Veterinary formulations: None

    • Uses of Cefazolin for Dogs and Cats

  • Cefazolin is used in both dogs and cats to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including skin infections, wound infections, bone infections, pneumonia and bladder infections.
  • Cephalexin is not effective against infections caused by parasites (intestinal worms), mites, viruses, or fungi.
  • Cefazolin is only available in injectable form and is typically administered in a hospital setting.

    • Precautions and Side Effects

  • While generally safe and effective when prescribed by a veterinarian, cefazolin can cause side effects in some animals.
  • Cefazolin should not be used in animals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to the drug.
  • If a pet is already sensitive to allergy or vomiting from other cephalosporin drugs (cefadroxil) or penicillins (amoxicillin, ampicillin), cross-reaction with cefazolin is possible.
  • Cefazolin may interact with other medications. Consult with your veterinarian to determine if other drugs your pet is receiving could interact with cefazolin. Such drugs include certain other antibiotics.
  • The most common side effect in animals is vomiting shortly after administration. It is usually not a sign of serious disease, but indicates that the pet is sensitive to this drug.
  • It is not unusual for some animals to develop diarrhea from orally administered antibiotics such as cefazolin. However, this has not been a common complaint with cefazolin.

    • How Cefazolin Is Supplied

  • Cefazolin is available in 100 mg 250 mg, 300 mg, 500 mg, 1 gram, 2 gram, 10 gram and 20 gram injectable concentrations.

    • Dosing Information of Cefazolin for dogs and Cats

  • Medication should never be administered without first consulting your veterinarian.
  • In dogs and cats, the usual dose of cefazolin is 5 to 15 mg per pound (10 to 30 mg/kg) every 6 to 8 hours intramuscular or intravenous.
  • After receiving cefazolin, many pets are sent home with a prescription of an oral cephalosporin, such as cefadroxil or cephalexin.
  • The duration of administration depends on the condition being treated, response to the medication and the development of any adverse effects. Be certain to complete the prescription unless specifically directed by your veterinarian. Even if your pet feels better, the entire treatment plan should be completed to prevent relapse or prevent the development of resistance.

    “NOBEL PHARMA”: our success is in our team!

    Each country has its own local pharmaceutical manufacturing companies of different size and importance for the pharmaceutical market of their state. They can number from a few to hundreds. However, only a few of them become exactly the embodiment of the pharmacy of a particular power. Producers in a country like Turkey are no exception. Large modern pharmaceutical enterprises in this country have been developing and have been operating effectively for decades. During these decades, pharmaceutical enterprises have been constantly improving and modernizing; today they are equipped with Western European equipment, their production processes are certified and meet the requirements set by the global pharmaceutical community. However, for us, Ukrainians, the company “NOBEL PHARMA” has become the embodiment of Turkish pharmacy.

    Founded in 1964, NOBEL PHARMA became part of Ulkar Holding in 1978, which is now a multinational pharmaceutical company headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey. Today, “NOBEL PHARMA” occupies a leading position in the Turkish pharmaceutical market due to the fact that it implements a successful marketing and sales strategy, which is supported by a vertical integration structure for the development and production of medicines. The products that this company represents are not just manufactured using the latest technologies in factories equipped with modern equipment – NOBEL PHARMA carries out a full cycle of drug development: from an idea to a finished product. The development of ideas takes place in the laboratories of the Fargem company, which is the R&D division of Ulkar Holding, the production of substances – at the Ulkar Kimiya enterprise located in Turkey, and the production of finished dosage forms – at the enterprises of Nobel Farma (Turkey), ” Nobel AFF” (Uzbekistan) and “Nobel Pharmsanoat” (Kazakhstan). It would not be superfluous, perhaps, to note that the company’s production facilities meet GMP requirements, which is provided for in Turkey at the legislative level.

    Over time, NOBEL PHARMA products gradually conquered the pharmaceutical markets of Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina), the CIS (Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Azerbaijan), Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan). And in 2006, NOBEL PHARMA also came to Ukraine, where, thanks to its vast experience in entering local markets, it successfully implements its development strategy, adapted to national characteristics and needs.

    And although NOBEL PHARMA and its products have been on the Ukrainian pharmaceutical market for only 5 years, many of us associate the Turkish drug manufacturer with this company, which, you see, cannot be an accident. At the same time, there is no need to conduct an in-depth analysis of the reasons in order to understand why it happened this way, because the answer lies on the surface. This, of course, is a significant intellectual and human potential of the manufacturing company, as well as its modern and powerful production base, high quality products, a well-thought-out management model that allows you to make the necessary decisions in the shortest possible time, as well as a well-organized and trained external service of the company, allowing to implement the main tasks of promoting the product portfolio as efficiently as possible.

    How great is the role of personnel and the importance of training regional and medical representatives of any pharmaceutical company, we were able to see by recently visiting one of the picturesque country hotel complexes, where an internal training was held, which brought together the vast majority of employees of the Ukrainian representative office of NOBEL PHARMA. We talked about the company, its place in the Ukrainian pharmaceutical market and the importance of training pharmaceutical staff in between sessions with the CEO of NOBEL PHARMA in Ukraine, Jem Demirdzhi:

    — Recently, we have been hearing more and more often that emerging markets are the most promising and that the largest pharmaceutical players have been refocusing on them in recent years. The Ukrainian market is no exception, and when planning its expansion to the CIS pharmaceutical markets, NOBEL PHARMA could not but take into account its dynamic development. This was the reason why, already in May 2005, the Ukrainian representative office of our company was opened. Having started with the launch of 4 products, already today NOBEL PHARMA markets more than 15 products on the Ukrainian market and has branches in most of the largest cities in the country, having gathered an experienced team of 80 regional and medical representatives on its staff.

    All our employees are, of course, employees with many responsibilities, each of which, without exaggeration, is responsible for the successful work of the entire team. Some of them have to regulate the work of medical representatives, as well as directly implement the company’s product and personnel policy, often act as a business coach, lecturer or consultant for their direct subordinates, others have to establish cooperation with doctors, pharmacists of the first table, and pharmacy managers and clinics, select opinion leaders. Such a multifaceted and wide list of tasks facing our employees, of course, makes us pay quite a lot of attention to staff training. This is also important because every year both the company’s product portfolio, represented on the Ukrainian pharmaceutical market, and the staff of the representative office are increasing.

    Today, the NOBEL PHARMA company offers the Ukrainian consumer high-quality medicines that are used for a wide range of indications, for example, in the treatment of respiratory diseases and diseases of the cardiovascular system, including flu and cold complications, inflammatory processes, fungal infections, etc. For example, complex preparations TYLOL HOT Fen and ANZIBEL are very relevant for this period, when the incidence of colds and flu is increased.

    Due to the complex composition of the preparation TYLOL HOT Fen in the form of powder for preparing a hot drink, we can effectively influence the main mechanisms of the development of cold symptoms. So, paracetamol has an antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, and chlorpheniramine maleate eliminates swelling and inflammation of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract.

    ANZIBEL in its composition is an original drug that has no analogues on the Ukrainian market. The drug is indicated for acute pharyngitis (sore throat) and effectively eliminates even severe pain. ANZIBEL has a wide spectrum of antiseptic action, actively fighting the pathological microflora located on the mucous membrane of the oropharynx. A distinctive feature of the drug is that, in addition to all the above properties, due to the enoxolone included in its composition, ANZIBEL has anti-inflammatory properties, which also helps to alleviate the patient’s condition with acute pharyngitis, reduce swelling of the oropharyngeal mucosa, improve tissue regeneration and, most importantly, – ANZIBEL has a pronounced antiviral effect, which makes it a particularly valuable drug in the treatment of patients with sore throat of viral etiology.

    Of course, it is impossible not to mention such a popular over-the-counter drug among Ukrainian consumers as ALORA, which is based on passionflower extract. This is a monocomponent sedative herbal preparation, presented in the form of syrup and tablets, which has a calming and mild hypnotic effect. Since entering the Ukrainian pharmaceutical market, it has been in regular and growing demand among stressed patients who are worried about insomnia, increased irritability and anxiety.

    However, in addition to OTC drugs, the assortment of NOBEL PHARMA has a very wide range of prescription group. Among them are such trademarks well-known to the Ukrainian doctor and the pervostolnik as LANSOPROL (lansoprozol), PULCET (pantoprazole), LIPOFEN SR (fenofibrate), MELBEK (meloxicam), FLUNOL (fluconazole), ETOL FORT (etodolac), as well as oral antibiotics. use and parenteral administration – AZAX (azithromycin), AKSEF (cefuroxime), etc.

    Of course, not only the constant expansion of the range of products, but also the increasing size of the team, which is replenished every time with more and more new specialists, force us to conduct trainings like the one whose guests were the correspondent of APTEKA Weekly. After all, the work of each employee of the external service, as well as the company as a whole, must be carried out in accordance with the market concepts of the 21st century, including ethical standards for the promotion of medicines. Today, we could observe, for example, how much importance in the training program was given to preparing foreign service employees for a visit to a pharmacy and the technique of the visit itself, as well as training in the art of working in the trading floor of a pharmacy, the principles of establishing cooperation with doctors and first capitalists, as well as heads of pharmacies . Moreover, such knowledge is very often important not only for medical representatives, but also for regional leaders. All these skills, of course, combine rigorous science with the virtuosic art of effective work in the market.

    However, the regular conduct of such internal trainings allows not only to conduct and control the quality of training, to acquaint our employees with internal work standards, to remind or tell something new about products – they also allow them to get to know each other, establish informal relationships, which is of no small importance important for the future performance of the entire company. After all, it is this approach, according to NOBEL PHARMA, that contributes to the creation of a cohesive team.

    Perhaps that is why the team called “NOBEL PHARMA” employs initiative people who sincerely love their work and believe in success!
