To determine the efficacy and safety of cefovecin (Convenia); Pfizer Animal Health) in the treatment of urinary tract infections in dogs.
A multi-centre, blinded, randomised study was conducted in 129 dogs with urinary tract infections. Cephalexin (Rilexine) administered twice daily at 15 mg/kg bodyweight orally for 14 days was compared with a single, subcutaneous injection of cefovecin (Convenia) in dogs. The primary efficacy parameter assessed was bacterial elimination of the pretreatment uropathogen.
One hundred and twenty-nine dogs were included in efficacy assessments. Escherichia coli was eliminated in 90.5 per cent of cefovecin-treated dogs compared with 52.9 per cent of cephalexin-treated dogs (P=0.0004). Overall cure rates for dogs with Escherichia coli infections were 79.1 per cent for cefovecin and 36.4 per cent for cephalexin-treated dogs (P=0.0003). There were no suspected adverse drug reactions attributed to treatment with cefovecin or cephalexin.
Cefovecin was shown to be an effective and safe treatment for urinary tract infections.
确定头孢维星(康卫宁;辉瑞动物保健公司)治疗犬尿路感染的有效性和安全性。
对129只患有尿路感染的犬进行了一项多中心、双盲、随机研究。将头孢氨苄(力可信)以15mg/kg体重口服,每日两次,连用14天,与给犬单次皮下注射头孢维星(康卫宁)进行比较。评估的主要疗效参数是治疗前尿路病原体的细菌清除情况。
129只犬纳入疗效评估。头孢维星治疗的犬中90.5%的大肠杆菌被清除,而头孢氨苄治疗的犬中这一比例为52.9%(P=0.0004)。大肠杆菌感染犬的总体治愈率,头孢维星治疗组为79.1%,头孢氨苄治疗组为36.4%(P=0.0003)。未发现因头孢维星或头孢氨苄治疗引起的疑似药物不良反应。
头孢维星被证明是治疗犬尿路感染的一种有效且安全的药物。
