Prescription Item
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
Veraflox is prescribed for the treatment of many skin conditions, such as infections, wounds, and abscesses in cats and kittens caused by various strains of bacteria. Veraflox comes in an easy-to-use dispenser that makes accurate dosing a snap and only requires once a day dosage.
UsesVeraflox is indicated for the treatment of skin infections (wounds and abscesses) in cats caused by susceptible strains of bacteria.
Possible Side EffectsThe most common side effects in cats include vomiting and other minor gastrointestinal disturbances, although rarely. Veraflox must not be used in animals that may be allergic to fluoroquinolone antibiotics as an allergic reaction may occur. Please consult prescribing information for full list of possible side effects.
Drug & Food InteractionsCompounds (e.g., sucralfate, antacids and multivitamins) containing divalent and trivalent cations (e.g., iron, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, and zinc) may substantially interfere with the absorption of quinolones resulting in a decrease in product bioavailability. Therefore, the concomitant oral administration of quinolones with foods, supplements, or other preparations containing these compounds should be avoided. The dosage of theophylline should be reduced when used concurrently with quinolones. Cimetidine has been shown to interfere with the metabolism of quinolones and should be used with care when used concurrently. Concurrent use of quinolones with oral cyclosporine should be avoided. Concurrent administration of quinolones may increase the action of oral anticoagulants.
Precautions
Prescribing antibacterial drugs in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection is
unlikely to provide benefit to treated animals and may increase the risk of the development of drug resistant animal pathogens.
The use of fluoroquinolones in cats has been associated with the development of retinopathy and/or
blindness. Such products should be used with caution in cats.
Quinolones have been shown to produce erosions of cartilage of weight-bearing joints and other signs
of arthropathy in immature animals of various species.
The safety of pradofloxacin in immune-compromised cats (i.e., cats infected with feline leukemia virus
and/or feline immunodeficiency virus) has not been evaluated.
Quinolones should be used with caution in animals with known or suspected central nervous system
(CNS) disorders. In such animals, quinolones have, in rare instances, been associated with CNS
stimulation that may lead to convulsive seizures.
The safety of pradofloxacin in cats younger than 12 weeks of age has not been evaluated.
The safety of pradofloxacin in cats that are used for breeding or that are pregnant and/or lactating has
not been evaluated.

Super easy to give
By Erica on Dec 30, 2020
This antibiotic isn't used enough in veterinary practices. What's awesome about it is the dose is ONCE a day, you don't have to keep it refrigerated and cats seem to tolerate the taste. If you have ever attempted to medicate a cat you know it can be a struggle. Vets need to consider stocking their practices with this!

Lack of pharmacy follow through
By DanB on Jul 24, 2020
There was a mixup with the fax numbers between the vet and chewies. I felt the chewies staff and Pharmacy did not have the commitment to solve the problem in reasonable time. People willing to say I did the process and not go beyond when things weren’t working. In today’s process oriented world, we need to recognize when things are screwed up and take control personally to solve problems.

Working Meds
By BurgerBites on Jun 15, 2020
Both my cats had Tritrichomonas when we brought them home. We tried 3 different meds before this product and finally I am seeing positive results and this is a med that they seem to tolerate.

The best price ever.
By Gadza on Nov 13, 2019
I bought the same medication from my vet and it was 3 times more expensive. So I took original prescription and mailed to chewy.com to get the same medication from them. Downside was I could not e-mailed scanned prescription so it took few day to get the medication. In future I would request original prescription and send it straight to Chewy.

Worked great for Tennessee
By Denie on Apr 26, 2019
RX was called in by my vet for an infection that my cat got after his catheter was pulled. He was originally on Amoxicillin. After my vet received the urine culture back she said that the infection that he had was resistant to most antibiotics and he was switched to Veraflox. Worked perfectly and he's feeling so much better now. Chewy was awesome getting the medicine overnighted to me for a Saturday delivery. Me and my fur baby thank you for such great customer service.

Veraflox took care of my cats runny nose. It was easy to give. My cat was ok with the taste. I really like once a day dosing.
