Draxxin 100 mg/ml solution for injection for cattle & pigs
Dosage and administration
Cattle
A single subcutaneous injection of 2.5 mg tulathromycin/kg body weight (equivalent to 1 ml/40 kg body weight). For treatment of cattle over 300 kg bodyweight, divide the dose so that no more than 7.5 ml are injected at one site.
Pigs
A single intramuscular injection of 2.5 mg tulathromycin/kg body weight (equivalent to 1 ml/40 kg body weight) in the neck. For treatment of pigs over 80 kg bodyweight, divide the dose so that no more than 2 ml are injected at one site.
It is recommended to treat animals in the early stages of the disease and to evaluate the response to treatment within 48 hours after injection. If clinical signs of respiratory disease persist or increase, or if relapse occurs, treatment should be changed, using another antibiotic, and continued until clinical signs have resolved.
To ensure correct dosage body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing. For multiple vial entry, an aspirating needle or multi‑dose syringe is recommended to avoid excessive broaching of the stopper.
