Eloxil uses



NADA 055-058, Approved by FDA

Caution:

Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.

Description:

Eloxil (cloxacillin benzathine) for Intramammary Infusion into the Dry Cow is a product which provides bactericidal activity against gram-positive bacteria. The active agent, Eloxil benzathine, is a sparingly soluble salt of the semisynthetic penicillin, Eloxil. Eloxil is a derivative of 6-aminopenicillanic acid, and therefore is chemically related to other penicillins. It has, however, the antibacterial properties described below, which distinguish it from certain other penicillins.

Each 10 mL disposable syringe contains Eloxil benzathine equivalent to 500 mg of Eloxil activity in a stable peanut oil gel. This product was manufactured by a non-sterilizing process.

Storage:

Do not store above 25°C (77°F). Do not freeze.

Action:

In the non-lactating mammary gland, Eloxil (cloxacillin benzathine) provides bactericidal levels of the active antibiotic, Eloxil, for a prolonged period of time. This prolonged activity is due to the low solubility of the Eloxil benzathine and to the slow-release oil-gel base. This prolonged contact between the antibiotic and the pathogenic organism enhances the probability of a bacteriological cure.

Eloxil is not destroyed by the enzyme, penicillinase, and therefore, is active against penicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus. It is also active against non-penicillinase-producing Staphylococcus aureus as well as Streptococcus agalactiae.

The class disc, Methicillin 5 mcg, should be used to estimate the in vitro susceptibility of bacteria to Eloxil.

Indications:

For the treatment of mastitis in dairy cows during the dry period.

Eloxil has been shown by extensive clinical studies to be efficacious in the treatment of mastitis in dry cows, when caused by Streptococcus agalactiae and Staphylococcus aureus including penicillin-resistant strains.

Treatment of the dry cow with Eloxil is indicated in any cow known to harbor any of these organisms in the udder at drying off, or which has had repeated attacks of mastitis during the previous lactation, or is affected with mastitis at drying off, if caused by susceptible organisms.

Dosage for Dry Cows:

Infuse the contents of one syringe (10 mL) into each quarter following the last milking. See Directions for Use.

Directions for Use:

Eloxil (cloxacillin benzathine) is for use in dry cows only. Administer immediately after the last milking. Use no later than 30 days prior to calving.

Completely milk out all four quarters. The udder and teats should be thoroughly washed with warm water containing a suitable dairy antiseptic and dried, preferably using individual paper towels. Carefully scrub the teat end and orifice with 70% alcohol, using a separate swab for each teat. Allow to dry.

Eloxil is packaged with the Opti-Sert® Protective Cap.

For partial insertion: Twist off upper portion of the Opti-Sert Protective Cap to expose 3–4 mm of the syringe tip.

For full insertion: Remove protective cap to expose the full length of the syringe tip.

Insert syringe tip into the teat canal and expel the entire contents of syringe into the quarter. Withdraw the syringe and gently massage the quarter to distribute the medication.

Do not infuse contents of the mastitis syringe into the teat canal if the Opti-Sert Protective Cap is broken or damaged.
