Cloxamp DC 600

Intramammary preparation

This product is indicated for the treatment of dairy cows at drying off only, that is immediately after the last milking of the lactation. To treat existing mastitis caused by, or associated with, organisms sensitive to cloxacillin and ampicillin. To provide prolonged protection against further infections during the dry period.

Read the entire label prior to use. Taking antiseptic precautions, introduce contents of one injector into each quarter via the teat canal. Treat after the final milking of the lactation, and at least 49 days before calving. The variable tip allows for either full or partial insertion into the teat orifice. Partial insertion only is preferable, as it may prevent unnecessary damage to the teat orifice and reduce the risk of infection. Full insertion will be needed for large teat orifices

Ampicillin and cloxacillin are antibiotics in the penicillin family and are considered Highly Important to human and animal health. The use of these antibiotics should only be for the minimum period needed to meet the clinical objective. Clinical response to these antibiotics should be monitored during treatment, and choice of therapy reviewed if clinical signs of disease persist, increase, or relapse. In the event of treatment failure, culture and sensitivity should be considered to determine an appropriate alternative therapy. Indiscriminate use of these antibiotics can contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance.
