Laсtico profi
Suspension for intracisternal administration
Specification
Laсtico profi is an antibacterial drug (penicillin antibiotics).
Cloxacillin is a bactericidal antibiotic from the group of semisynthetic penicillins.
Cloxacillin is active against gram-positive bacteria commonly
secreted from udder secretions during the dry period. The antibiotic
is highly active against streptococci (especially Streptococcus
agalactiae), staphylococci (including strains resistant to penicillin)
and corynebacteria (Corynebacterium pyogenes).
The mechanism of antimicrobial action of cloxacillin is associated
with the blockade of the synthesis of the cell wall of microorganisms.
In the recommended doses, the drug does not have a local irritating
and resorptive-toxic effect.
Cloxacillin is excreted mainly in the urine and with milk in lactating
animals.
Indications
Laсtico profi is used for treatment of mastitis in cows during the
dry period.
Composition
Laсtico profi is a suspension from white to grayish-white color. The stratification is allowed, which disappears after shaking. 3 g of LAСTICO PROFI contain 500 mg of cloxacillin (in the form of benzathine salt) and excipients (ionol, benzyl alcohol, colloidal silicon oxide, beeswax, a mixture of medium-chain triglycerides).
Dosage
Laсtico profi is administered intracisternally, once to all cows
after the last milking before transfer to the dry period, but no later
than 30 days before the expected calving.
The contents of one syringe dispenser are injected into each quarter
of the udder. Laсtico profi is contraindicated in animals with hypersensitivity
to antibiotics of the penicillin group.
