Pharmacological properties
Such a combination of antibiotics, which is presented in Mastiet Forte, is endowed with a synergistic property in relation to the following causative agents of such a disease as mastitis: E. coli, Strept. uberis, A. pyogenes, etc. The drug is administered directly into the udder. It is proved that from the mammary gland harmful substances that are present in the composition of the drug, practically do not penetrate.
The mechanism of action of antibiotics is as follows: when bacteria enter the cell, they lead to inhibition of protein synthesis. In addition, they create a connection with the receptors inside the cell affected by the bacterium, and also destroy the synthesis of the biopolymer, which is the main component of the bacterial cell wall. All this leads to the death of the bacteria and makes it possible to reduce the manifestation of inflammation in the tissues, thus removing the swelling of the udder.
