Pradalex™ (Pradofloxacin) Injection

Pradalex™ is an innovative third generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic for the treatment of bovine respiratory disease (BRD), only after consideration of other non-fluoroquinolones therapeutic options. Pradofloxacin, the active ingredient in Pradalex, uniquely features two modes of action.

Pradalex™ has equal affinity for both enzymes responsible for DNA replication in both gram-negative and gram-positive organisms. Pradalex™ is a potent fluoroquinolone antibiotic. Because Pradalex is bactericidal and targets DNA, it kills bacteria in both the resting and growth phases of bacterial development
