What is Enrofloxacin + Bromhexine HCl?
Active Ingredients: Enrofloxacin + Bromhexine HCl
Enrofloxacin + Bromhexine HCl Oral Solution is a combination drug used to treat certain bacterial infections and control coughing in poultry. It is indicated for the treatment of respiratory tract infections that are present with sputum, including bronchitis and emphysema.
This medication combines two active ingredients, an antibiotic and a mucolytic agent.
Enrofloxacin belongs to the family of medicines called fluoroquinolone antibiotics. It works by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Enrofloxacin displays bactericidal activity against a wide range of bacteria, including Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, Proteus, and Klebsiella. This drug is well absorbed when taken orally and reaches peak plasma concentrations within 1 to 2 hours in poultry. It is widely distributed and reaches the respiratory tissues. It is partially metabolized in the liver to ciprofloxacin which also has antibacterial activity. It is secreted through the kidneys by glomerular filtration and tubular secretion. It inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for DNA replication and transcription. This leads to the bactericidal effect.
Bromhexine is classified as a mucolytic. It works by breaking down mucus. This compound is also rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration and it is distributed in the lungs. It is metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys. It increases the production of serous mucus in the respiratory tract, by making the phlegm less viscous and promoting its expectoration.
Enrofloxacin has an antibacterial action, while Bromhexine has a mucolytic effect.

How does Enrofloxacin from this product help in treating respiratory infections in poultry?
It aids by inhibiting the bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. This contributes to cell death and this antibiotic has a bactericidal effect. It is efficient in treating both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria depending on the susceptibility of the bacteria. This product is mainly used for treating respiratory infections in poultry.
How can Enrofloxacin + Bromhexine Oral Solution help in cases of fowl cholera?
This is a contagious bactericidal disease that is caused by Pasteurella multocida. This drug can clear the airway of the animal and can have a bactericidal effect on the pathogen. It can reduce clinical signs like fever, appetite loss, ruffled feathers, mucous discharge, respiratory difficulty, and green watery diarrhea.
To achieve good results in the treatment process, farms should have good management practices including a high level of biosecurity. Affected animals should be excluded from the poultry houses and proper disinfectants should be used. Live attenuated vaccines can also help in the prevention of the disease.
Is only Enrofloxacin + Bromhexine Oral Solution enough for fowl cholera in poultry?
No, only this drug cannot help in the complete eradication of the disease. Depopulation, through cleaning, and disinfection is also needed. Good biosecurity, vaccination, and prompt usage of antimicrobials is also recommended.
Is only Enrofloxacin + Bromhexine Oral Solution enough to treat a respiratory infection in poultry?
Enrofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that can help in treating many bacterial infections and Bromhexine HCl is a mucolytic that helps in clearing the respiratory secretions. However, the efficacy of this drug depends on the present pathogen because antibiotics are only effective against bacteria. For treating viruses or fungi other drugs are needed.
Additional antibiotics, vitamins, and other drugs might be needed depending on the severity of the health issue. Bacterial resistance to this antibiotic can also lead to unsuccessful treatment and veterinarians need to observe the treatment process to determine whether this drug is the right choice.
Environmental factors like ventilation, high ammonia levels, and other stressors can also slow down the healing process. Before prescribing this antibiotic, veterinarians should also advise the farmers about proper practices.
