Naxcel 200mg/ml Injection for Cattle 100ml
Product Description
Use of this product on farms is restricted and should only be used as last resort. Please speak to your vet for further guidance.
- For use in cattle for the treatment of foot rot (foul in the foot).
- For use in cattle for the treatment of acute post-partum (puerperal) metritis, in cases where treatment with another antimicrobial has failed.
For systemically administered broad-spectrum cephalosporins (3rd and 4th generation, such as ceftiofur), it should be reflected that these are to be reserved for the treatment of clinical conditions which have responded poorly or are expected to respond poorly, to other antimicrobials. Increased use, including use of the product deviating from the instructions given in the SPC/datasheet, may increase the prevalence of bacteria resistant to ceftiofur. Official, national and regional antimicrobial policies should be taken into account when the product is used.
Whenever possible, cephalosporins should only be used based on susceptibility testing. When considering the treatment strategy, it is appropriate to consider the improvement of the herd management practice and use supporting treatment with suitable local products (e.g. disinfectants).
Dosage & Administration
A single subcutaneous injection 1 ml of Naxcel per 30 kg bodyweight administered at the base of the ear.
To ensure a correct dosage, bodyweight should be accurately determined to avoid under-dosing.
It is recommended to limit injection volumes to a maximum of 30 ml per injection site.

If clinical signs have not improved 48 hours after treatment, the diagnosis and treatment of the condition should be re-evaluated.
