Zoetis Excede [Swine] (100 mL)

Zoetis EXCEDE for Swine (ceftiofur crystalline free acid) Sterile Suspension is a ready-to-use formulation that contains crystalline free acid of ceftiofur, which is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including β-lactamase-producing strains. Ceftiofur, like other cephalosporins, inhibits cell-wall synthesis in vitro, which means it is bactericidal.

EXCEDE for Swine Sterile Suspension 100 mg/mL is indicated for the treatment of swine respiratory disease (SRD) associated with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, Haemophilus parasuis & Streptococcus suis. Indicated for the control of SRD associated with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, Haemophilus parasuis and Streptococcus suis in groups of pigs where SRD has been diagnosed.
