Bioclan general information
What is Bioclan used for?
Bioclan oral solution 25mg/ml is an antibiotic medication used for the treatment of serious bacterial infections in cats and dogs caused by susceptible bacteria. These include superficial pyoderma (superficial skin infection), wounds and abscesses, infected mouth cavity and dental infections; also to prevent infection due to dental surgery. In dogs Bioclan oral solution 25mg/ml/ml is also used to treat osteomyelitis (infection of the bone or bone marrow), which may be caused by an infection from another part of the body reaching the bone through the blood, or the bone may become infected from an accident involving the bone. Bioclan oral solution 25mg/ml is specially formulated for treatment of bacterial infections in dogs and cats.
How does Bioclan work?
Bioclan oral solution 25mg/ml contains clindamycin, a lincosamide antibiotic with bacteriostatic action that is used to treat a wide range of serious bacterial infections in cats and dogs. Clindamycin in Bioclan oral solution 25mg/ml is effective against a range of sensitive bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus and intermedius, Bacteroides fragilis, Prevotella melaninogenicus, Fusobacterium necrophorum and Clostridium perfringens. Clindamycin in Bioclan oral solution 25mg/ml works by binding to the bacterial ribosome, a structure involved in protein synthesis and this inhibits the early stages of bacterial protein synthesis, so that the bacteria cannot make important proteins required for survival of the bacteria, which inhibits bacterial growth and prevents the spread of infection. Clindamycin in Bioclan oral solution 25mg/ml is lipid soluble and therefore, penetrates many body fluids and tissues, such as soft tissue, bone and joints; it also penetrates biofilms found in dental and bone infections. It is rapidly absorbed and concentrates in the white blood cells at the site of infection.
What does Bioclan contain?
Bioclan oral solution 25mg/ml contain the active ingredient clindamycin hydrochloride, an antibiotic that is used to treat a wide range of serious bacterial infections in cats and dogs. It also contains isopropyl alcohol.
