Mechanism of action (9)

Species not stated (9)
  • CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Florfenicol is a bacteriostatic agent whose antimicrobial activity is linked to time above MIC. The pharmacokinetic disposition of FLORCON 2.3% Concentrate Solution was evaluated in swine following oral gavage dosing (15 mg/kg), intravenous (IV) dosing (15 mg/kg), and during a five (5) day course of ad lib itum administration in drinking water (100 ppm) (Table 1). Despite the rapid elimination seen after IV injection or oral gavage dosing, when administered in medicated drinking water, florfenicol concentrations in the serum of most swine were maintained well above 1.0 mcg/mL for the majority of the (5) day dosing interval. These results are consistent with product effectiveness when administered in drinking water concentrations of 100 ppm over a five (5) day dosing period. Although the extent of oral drug absorption (F) tended to be variable (24% to 97% following a single oral gavage dose), florfenicol was rapidly absorbed. Its terminal elimination half-life (T1/2) was also rapid, ranging between two (2) to three (3) hours. The average systemic clearance (CLB) following IV administration was 5.6 mL/kg/min. Since the florfenicol steady state volume of distribution (VDSS) closely approximates that of total body water, peripheral tissue concentrations are expected to be similar to those concentrations observed in serum.

  • OSURNIA is a fixed combination of three active substances: florfenicol (antibacterial), terbinafine (antifungal) and betamethasone acetate (steroidal anti-inflammatory). Florfenicol is a bacteriostatic antibiotic which acts by inhibiting protein synthesis. Its spectrum of activity includes Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Terbinafine is an antifungal which selectively inhibits the early synthesis of ergosterol. Betamethasone acetate is a glucocorticosteroid with anti-inflammatory activity. OSURNIA dissolves in ear wax and is slowly eliminated from the ear mechanically. Ear inflammation can increase the percutaneous absorption of active substances in OSURNIA. In a laboratory study conducted in healthy dogs (see Animal Safety ), low plasma concentrations of florfenicol, terbinafine, and betamethasone acetate were measurable during the first 2-4 days after administration of 1× dose, and during the first 2-7 days after administration of 5× dose. No quantifiable plasma concentrations of any of the three active ingredients were observed in the pre-dose samples of most dogs prior to second and third administrations. Although total and peak exposure in the blood tended to be highly variable between dogs, systemic drug concentrations tended to increase in a less than dose-proportional manner as the administered dose increased from 1× to 5×.

Sunburn, skin lesions, and skin sloughing have been reported in salmonids treated with florfenicol. Not all adverse drug events are reported to FDA CVM. It is not always possible to reliably estimate the adverse event incidence or to establish a causal relationship to product exposure using this data alone. Before using this drug for the first time, you must inform the appropriate National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting authority of your intentions and of the following information. Acute and chronic water quality benchmarks for the protection of freshwater aquatic life have been derived by FDA for florfenicol following EPA guidance for calculating Tier II water quality criteria for the Great Lakes System (40 CFR 132, App. A). The acute benchmark value (Secondary Maximum Concentration) is 20.6 mg/L (equivalent to one-half of the Secondary Acute Value). The chronic benchmark value (Secondary Continuous Concentration) is 0.23 mg/L (equivalent to the Final Plant Value). The NPDES authority may require an NPDES permit before you can discharge PAQFLORTM. The water quality benchmark concentrations are not discharge limits, but may be used by the NPDES authority to derive such limits for the permit. Additional environmental information on PAQFLORTM and the benchmark values are available in an environmental assessment posted at https://animaldrugsatfda.fda.gov/adafda/app/search/public/document/downloadEA/113

    FLORFENICOL Injectable Solution 300 mg/mL

  • A target animal safety study was conducted to evaluate the effects of florfenicol and flunixin meglumine when administered to cattle subcutaneously at 1X, 3X, or 5X the labeled dose for three consecutive days (3X the labeled duration). Decreased feed and water consumption, and decreased body weights (secondary to decreased feed consumption) were observed in the 1X, 3X, and 5X groups. Injection site swellings were noted in the 1X, 3X, and 5X groups. A separate injection site study was conducted in cattle. The study demonstrated that florfenicol and flunixin meglumine, when administered according to the label directions, may induce a transient local reaction in the subcutaneous and underlying muscle tissue.
