Product details

Product Overview

Virbac Fortivir Injection is an advanced, long-acting broad-spectrum veterinary antibiotic engineered with a specialized drug delivery vehicle. Formulated for livestock management, it concentrates directly within immune cells (macrophages and neutrophils) to maximize targeted bacterial cell lysis.

Its unique long-acting technology offers a sustained post-antibiotic effect (PAE). This design minimizes multiple injection procedures, substantially reducing animal handling stress and improving overall recovery outcomes.
