New! Taste-Masking Technology

  • Orbifloxacin is bound to a patented taste-masking agent so it passes taste buds undetected, then is released in the low pH environment of the stomach. Cats and dogs taste the malt flavor, not the antibiotic.
  • In a clinical trial with ill cats, ORBAX®Oral Suspension was readily accepted by 95% of cats, while only 54% of cats readily accepted Synulox® (European tradename of Clavamox® Drops).1
  • In a clinical trial with client‑owned dogs, ORBAX® Oral Suspension was accepted by 96% of dogs presented for veterinary care.2
Convenient for pet owners

  • Administered once-a-day
