OverviewDraxxin (tulathromycin) Injectable Solution by Zoetis is a long-acting macrolide antibiotic indicated for the treatment and metaphylaxis (control) of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) associated with Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, Histophilus somni, and Mycoplasma bovis in beef and non-lactating dairy cattle, as well as swine respiratory disease (SRD). BRD is the most economically significant disease in the beef cattle industry, and Draxxin is one of the most widely used and trusted single-dose antibiotic treatments available. A single subcutaneous injection provides therapeutic drug concentrations in lung tissue for up to 10 days — eliminating the need for multiple-day treatment regimens and reducing handling stress on sick animals. Draxxin is also approved for metaphylaxis — treating the entire at-risk pen when BRD is diagnosed in a portion of the group — making it a key tool in arrival processing and high-risk stocker programs. The 250 mL vial provides a practical supply for feedlot, stocker, and cow-calf operations.Key Features Tulathromycin long-acting macrolide antibiotic — single injection provides up to 10 days of therapeutic lung tissue concentrations Approved for treatment and metaphylaxis (control) of BRD in beef and non-lactating dairy cattle Effective against M. haemolytica, P. multocida, H. somni, and M. bovis Single-dose treatment eliminates multi-day regimens and reduces handling stress on sick cattle Approved for metaphylaxis — treat the at-risk pen when BRD is diagnosed in the group Also approved for swine respiratory disease (SRD) Subcutaneous (SQ) injection — maximum 10 mL per injection site 250 mL vial for feedlot, stocker, and cow-calf operations Specifications Brand: Zoetis / Draxxin Active Ingredient: Tulathromycin 100 mg/mL Drug Class: Macrolide Antibiotic Form: Injectable Solution (Subcutaneous) Size: 250 mL Species: Beef cattle, non-lactating dairy cattle, swine Best For Treatment of BRD in beef cattle and stocker operations Metaphylaxis at arrival processing in high-risk stocker and feedlot cattle Single-dose BRD treatment programs where minimizing re-handling of sick cattle is a priority Operations managing BRD outbreaks where a long-acting, proven antibiotic is required For use under veterinary supervision or by prescription.
