Pradalex Injectable for Cattle and Swine

Pradalex Injectable (pradofloxacin) from Elanco is a convenient, one-shot, low-volume antibiotic for cattle and swine which has a 2-day withdrawal period and features a unique molecular structure and a mode of action which simultaneously blocks two enzymes responsible for bacterial replication within the bacteria nucleus. Effective BRD/SRD treatment after consideration of other non-fluoroquinolone therapeutic options. This antibiotic treatment achieves peak serum activity within 45 minutes following injection. Pradalex Injectable treats BRD associated with Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, Histophilus somni, and Mycoplasma bovis in cattle intended for slaughter (beef calves 2 months of age and older, growing beef steers, growing beef heifers, and beef bulls intended for slaughter), and in cattle intended for breeding less than 1 year of age (replacement beef and dairy heifers less than 1 year of age, and beef and dairy bulls less than 1 year of age).

Pradalex Injectable is also for the treatment of swine respiratory disease (SRD) associated with Bordetella bronchiseptica, Glaesserella (Haemophilus) parasuis, Pasteurella multocida, Streptococcus suis, and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyo) in weaned swine intended for slaughter (nursery, growing, and finishing swine, boars, barrows, and gilts intended for slaughter, and sows intended for slaughter).
