Description
Fish Cip – Ciprofloxacin is a synthetic
broad spectrum antibiotic that is effective
against gram-negative and some gram-positive
bacterial pathogens of fish, e.g. aeromonads,
flexibacteria, vibrios. Use for: Columnaris
infections (Fin Rot, Saddleback, and Black
Patch Necrosis Syndromes), Freshwater and
Saltwater Furuncolosis (skin ulcers, systemic disease).
Because it inhibits unique target enzymes needed for
bacterial replication and DNA repair, it may be effective
against bacteria unresponsive to other antibiotics.
Active Ingredients: 500 mg Ciprofloxacin (per capsule)
Dosage & Administration:
Pre-dissolve one capsule (500mg) per 1 gallon of water
in a small amount of water prior to adding to a hospital tank.
Immerse for one hour. Repeat every day for 5-7 days with
daily water changes after each treatment. Ciprofloxacin
chelates divalent cations water hardness (increase dose
for marine fish) and high divalent cations in diet. Its activity
decreases with high pH (>6.9). It can be bacteriostatic or
bactericidal depending on the effective concentration at
the target site.
