How Marbocyl P tablets for dogs work

Marbocyl P tablets for dogs contain marbofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic.

Marbofloxacin:

• Enters bacterial cells

• Interferes with bacterial DNA processes

• Stops bacteria from growing and reproducing

This helps your dog’s immune system clear the infection more effectively. To work well, Marbocyl P tablets for dogs must be given at the correct dose and for the full length of the prescribed course.

Benefits of Marbocyl P tablets for dogs

When used exactly as your vet advises, Marbocyl P tablets for dogs can:

• ✔ Help clear many marbofloxacin-sensitive infections

• ✔ Reduce pain, swelling and discomfort caused by infection

• ✔ Support faster recovery when combined with good nursing care

• ✔ Provide several strengths for accurate, weight-based dosing

• ✔ Offer both single-tablet and 1 x 100 pack options for flexible supply

As the infection improves, many dogs show better appetite, more energy and greater overall comfort.

How to give Marbocyl P tablets for dogs

Always follow the label and instructions from your vet. General guidance:

• Give the exact number and strength of Marbocyl P tablets for dogs prescribed

• Your vet will tell you how many times each day to dose

• Tablets can usually be given with or without food; keep the routine consistent

• Offer the tablet directly or hide it in a small treat if your dog accepts this
