Description

Cefovecin is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic specifically designed for veterinary use, offering extended therapeutic action. Its primary value lies in providing sustained antibacterial efficacy with a single subcutaneous injection, significantly improving treatment compliance in animal care. This product is essential for veterinary pharmaceutical manufacturers and compounding pharmacies developing long-acting injectable formulations for companion animals, particularly dogs and cats.

Application

• Veterinary Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: As the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in long-acting injectable antibiotic products for companion animals.
• Treatment of Skin Infections: Specifically indicated for the treatment of secondary superficial pyoderma in dogs caused by susceptible strains of Staphylococcus intermedius.
• Treatment of Wound Infections: Used in veterinary medicine for managing abscesses and other wound infections in cats and dogs where prolonged antibiotic coverage is beneficial.
• Veterinary Compounding Pharmacies: Sourced by specialized pharmacies for formulating customized dosage forms under veterinary prescription.
• Research & Development: Used in preclinical and clinical studies for developing new veterinary antibiotic therapies and delivery systems.

Quality Control

Our Cefovecin is manufactured and tested to meet stringent quality standards suitable for use as a veterinary pharmaceutical ingredient. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including identification, assay, impurity profiling, and residual solvent analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, potency, and compliance with agreed specifications is provided with each shipment to ensure traceability and quality assurance for our B2B partners.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
