About this product
CEFTIOGARD Ceftiofur Hydrochloride 5% Injectable is a broad-spectrum third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic formulated for the treatment of susceptible bacterial infections in livestock. Containing Ceftiofur Hydrochloride 5% (50 mg/mL), it provides rapid bactericidal activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria commonly associated with respiratory disease, foot rot, and postpartum uterine infections in cattle, as well as respiratory disease in swine. Ceftiofur works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, helping eliminate infection while supporting faster recovery and improved herd health.
Designed for veterinary use, CEFTIOGARD is intended for administration under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian. Responsible use—including accurate diagnosis, adherence to recommended dosage, and compliance with withdrawal periods—is essential to maintain treatment effectiveness and help minimise antimicrobial resistance.
