For patients with bacterial skin infections, you want to provide safe, continuous relief — with rapid speed of onset and first-time treatment success.
That relief also gives pet owners peace of mind. Ninety-six percent of pet owners said they would use CONVENIA® (cefovecin sodium) again if their veterinarian recommended it.5
A single injection offers:
Rapid speed of onset Clinical signs of infection may begin to show improvement within hours after an injection.
Duration of relief Provides up to 14 days of antibiotic therapy.3,4
Proven efficacy Gives your patients safe, effective treatment of common bacterial skin infections.3,4
In clinical studies:
Four safety and efficacy studies showed: A single 8 mg/kg (3.6 mg/lb) injection of cefovecin sodium was effective and safe in treating bacterial skin infections in dogs3,8,9 and cats.4
Additional pharmacokinetic studies in dogs1 and in cats2 showed: Cefovecin has the ideal pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic characteristics for time-dependent antimicrobial.
Field efficacy studies in dogs & cats
In field efficacy studies, a single CONVENIA injection was clinically equivalent in efficacy to a 14-day course of an oral cephalosporin in treating bacterial skin infections in dogs3 and cats.4
Field efficacy study: dogs3
Results
A single injection of CONVENIA at 8 mg/kg (3.6 mg/lb) administered subcutaneously, which could be repeated once after 14 days, was safe and effective against naturally occurring infections in dogs.
Study design
In a double-blind multicenter study of dogs diagnosed with naturally occurring skin infections:
235 enrolled client-owned dogs were evaluated for efficacy.
Each infection was confirmed by bacterial culture.
Half of patients received saline injection followed by a 14-day course of cefadroxil.
Half of patients received CONVENIA followed by a 14-day course of placebo tablets.
A total of two 14-day treatment courses were permitted.
Dogs were evaluated on days 0, 7, 14 and 28 if administered 1 treatment course. If a second treatment was given of either CONVENIA or cefadroxil, dogs were also evaluated at day 42.
