Sky EC Flomarb is a veterinary-formulated third-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic containing Marbofloxacin, developed for the effective treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections in dogs and cats. Available in 5 mg, 25 mg, and 50 mg strengths, Flomarb offers excellent oral bioavailability, allowing rapid absorption and convenient once-daily dosing.
Marbofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent that works by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication, making it effective against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Flomarb is commonly prescribed for the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), respiratory tract infections (RTIs), and ear infections.
With an oral bioavailability exceeding 90%, Flomarb reaches therapeutic blood concentrations within 0.5–2 hours, ensuring rapid onset of action. It is primarily eliminated through the kidneys, maintaining safe therapeutic levels while minimizing the risk of drug accumulation when used as directed by a veterinarian.
