The use of EXCEDE 100 Sterile Suspension is contraindicated in animals previously found to be hypersensitive to the drug.
Cautions
In the absence of studies on the safety of ceftiofur in pregnant swine or swine intended for breeding, such use is not recommended. EXCEDE 100 may induce a local tissue reaction at the injection site that may result in trim loss of edible tissue at slaughter. Do not inject more than 2 mL per injection site as this may result in areas of discoloration and residual oily material at the injection site beyond the withdrawal period.

Warnings
- Treated swine must not be slaughtered for use in food for at least 49 days after the latest treatment with this drug.
- Non-observed withdrawal period, use of dosages in excess of those indicated or administration by unapproved routes may lead to illegal residues in tissues.
- Penicillins and cephalosporins can cause allergic reactions in sensitized individuals. Topical exposures to such antimicrobials, including ceftiofur, may elicit mild to severe allergic reactions in some individuals. Repeated or prolonged exposure may lead to sensitization. Avoid direct contact of the product with the skin, eyes, mouth and clothing. Sensitization of the skin may be avoided by wearing latex gloves. Persons with a known hypersensitivity to penicillin or cephalosporins should avoid exposure to this product. In case of accidental eye exposure, flush with water for 15 minutes. In case of accidental skin exposure, wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. If allergic reaction occurs (e.g., skin rash, hives, difficult breathing), seek medical attention. • To limit the development of antimicrobial resistance:
- EXCEDE 100 should not be used as a mass medication.
- EXCEDE 100 should only be used to treat individual cases of swine respiratory disease.
- The choice of EXCEDE 100 as the most appropriate treatment should be confirmed by clinical experience supported where possible, by pathogen culture and drug susceptibility testing.
- The extra-label use of Excede 100 is not recommended.
