Abstract
A 3-mo chemical surveillance of 5 proprietary products of enrofloxacin for veterinary use was carried out. In all, 50 samples were analyzed by thin-layer chromatography and UV-V1s spectroscopy. Only the origina l brand of enrofloxacin (BAYTRIL) contained 5% of the drug while the 4 0 samples from the other 4 products contained 7.5% ciprofioxacin. A wo rd of caution is given for the indiscriminate use of fluoroquinolones in veterinary medicine.
