Key Benefits:

• Quickly targets the site of infection in the lungs for fast-acting performance where it's needed.
• Provides a long half-life, giving cattle more time to bolster an effective defense against BRD.
• Rapidly circulates to the lungs to control BRD early in the disease process.
• Helps economically decrease the negative effects of BRD, such as morbidity and retreatment, leading to more profits by avoiding return trips to the pen and getting healthy cattle back on feed.

The use of Increxxa Injectable Solution is contraindicated in animals previously found to be hypersensitive to the drug.

Precautions:

Cattle The effects of Increxxa on bovine reproductive performance, pregnancy, and lactation have not been determined. Subcutaneous injection can cause a transient local tissue reaction that may result in trim loss of edible tissue at slaughter.

Swine The effects of Increxxa on porcine reproductive performance, pregnancy, and lactation have not been determined. Intramuscular injection can cause a transient local tissue reaction that may result in trim loss of edible tissue at slaughter.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Cattle In one BRD field study, two calves treated with tulathromycin injection at 2.5 mg/kg BW exhibited transient hypersalivation. One of these calves also exhibited transient dyspnea, which may have been related to pneumonia.

Swine In one field study, one out of 40 pigs treated with tulathromycin injection at 2.5 mg/kg BW exhibited mild salivation that resolved in less than four hours.

Storage Conditions:

Store below 25°C (77°F), with excursions up to 40°C (104°F).
