About This Product

Zoetis
SKU004523
EID 1000013
BrandZoetis
Indicated for the treatment of respiratory infections in horses associated with Streptococcus zooepidemicus (Streptococcus equi ssp. zooepidemicus).

NAXCEL Sterile Powder contains the sodium salt of ceftiofur which is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria including β-lactamase-producing strains. Like other cephalosporins, ceftiofur is bactericidal in vitro, resulting from inhibition of cell wall synthesis.
Dosage and Administration:
Administer to horses by intramuscular injection at the dosage of 1.0 to 2.0 mg ceftiofur per pound (2.2 to 4.4 mg/kg) of body weight (2-4 mL reconstituted sterile solution per 100 lbs body weight). A maximum of 10 mL may be administered per injection site. Treatment should be repeated at 24-hour intervals, continued for 48 hours after clinical signs have disappeared and should not exceed 10 days.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
People with known hypersensitivity to penicillin or cephalosporins should avoid exposure to NAXCEL. Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. Do not use in animals found to be hypersensitive to the product. The administration of antimicrobials to horses under conditions of stress may be associated with acute diarrhea that could be fatal. See full Naxcel Prescribing InformationThis links to a pdf file.
