Wondered what others views are on this. My concern is whether it is logical to want a fluoroquinolone to be more broad spectrum as this is likely to increase developmenten-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/46431?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 08 Oct 2011 16:11:49 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:7f46db28-2a10-4c95-b03a-791f8a8c99c9Mark Holmes<p>I would argue we should not be using it until all other options have failed.

Surely this is the kind of drug that you need IV in critical care, not in a tablet version and surely not for CBA?!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/46425?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 08 Oct 2011 14:23:45 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:a087fc4c-8d82-4d37-8e81-487306dd9117Mark Hedberg<p>Well, new drugs are always good; companies are as free to invent new drugs as we are to prescribe them responsibly.
