Can you give Excede and DRAXXIN together?

Calves may look good after only one dose, but you don't want them to relapse. You may need to combine Excede with the Draxxin or Nuflor. One pasteurella is resistant to everything except Excede. We have also had good luck giving Draxxin to all calves through the chute.

How quickly does DRAXXIN work?

Control fever: Because Draxxin KP includes an NSAID, it controls the fever that typically comes with BRD. The fast-acting anti-inflammatory, ketoprofen, has been demonstrated to reduce temperatures in as little as one hour.

How long does a shot of DRAXXIN last?

For example, a single injection of DRAXXIN® (tulathromycin) Injectable Solution provides up to 14 days of BRD therapy,2-5 and EXCEDE® (ceftiofur crystalline free acid) Sterile Suspension offers up to seven days of therapy.

How often can you treat with DRAXXIN?

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION. Inject subcutaneously as a single dose in the neck at a dosage of 2.5 mg tulathromycin and 3 mg ketoprofen/kg (1.1 mL/100 lb) bodyweight (BW). Do not inject more than 10 mL per injection site. Use this product within 56 days of the first puncture and puncture a maximum of 20 times.
