Draxxin 100 mg/ml Injectable Solution – Tulathromycin Antibiotic for Cattle, Pigs & Sheep (100ml)

Draxxin 100 mg/ml – Tulathromycin Injectable Antibiotic Solution

Draxxin is a clear, ready-to-use injectable solution containing 100 mg/ml of tulathromycin, a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic of the triamilide subclass. Developed for professional veterinary use, Draxxin delivers a convenient single-dose treatment with long-lasting action for up to 7–14 days, reducing handling stress and the need for repeated injections.

Indications by Species

Cattle:
Draxxin is indicated for the treatment and metaphylaxis of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) associated with Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, Histophilus somni, and Mycoplasma bovis sensitive to tulathromycin. It is also used for the treatment of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK/pinkeye) associated with Moraxella bovis, and foot rot (interdigital necrobacillosis) associated with Fusobacterium necrophorum and Porphyromonas levii.

Pigs (Swine):
Indicated for the treatment and metaphylaxis of swine respiratory disease (SRD) associated with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Haemophilus parasuis, and Bordetella bronchiseptica sensitive to tulathromycin. Metaphylactic treatment should only be initiated when the presence of SRD has been established in the herd and pigs are expected to develop the disease within 2–3 days.

Sheep:
Indicated for the treatment of the early stages of infectious pododermatitis (foot rot) associated with virulent Dichelobacter nodosus requiring systemic treatment. Draxxin shows best results when administered early; limited efficacy has been observed in sheep with severe or chronic foot rot.

Dosage and Administration

A single injection of 2.5 mg tulathromycin per kg body weight (equivalent to 1 ml per 40 kg body weight) is recommended for all target species:

• Cattle: Administer by subcutaneous injection in the neck. For animals over 300 kg, divide the dose so that no more than 7.5 ml is injected at any one site.
• Pigs: Administer by intramuscular injection in the neck. For pigs over 80 kg, divide the dose so that no more than 2 ml is injected at any one site.
• Sheep: Administer by intramuscular injection in the neck.

It is recommended to treat animals in the early stages of disease and evaluate the response within 48 hours. If clinical signs persist or worsen, consult a veterinarian for alternative treatment options.

Key Benefits

• Single-dose convenience: One injection provides a full course of therapy for up to 7–14 days of BRD treatment and control.
• Broad-spectrum efficacy: Effective against the major bacterial pathogens responsible for BRD, SRD, IBK, and foot rot.
• Rapid absorption: Tulathromycin is quickly distributed to the lungs and site of infection for fast-acting relief.
• Reduced handling stress: Eliminates the need for repeat injections, lowering labour costs and animal stress.
