Zoetis Excede Steril Suspension
EXCEDE treats lower respiratory tract infections in horses caused by susceptible strains of S. equi subspecies zooepidemicus (S. zooepidemicus). EXCEDE is the first and only antibiotic that is FDA-approved for horses that offers a full 10-day course of therapy in just two treatments.
By providing 10 days of therapy in just two treatments, veterinarians can help optimize compliance and convenience by having to administer fewer doses.
Fewer administrations mean less potential for missed doses.
Comparative treatments require 10 once-or twice-daily doses. Maintaining multiple treatments at consistent intervals can cause added stress for the horse as well as for those administering the medication.
For a full course of therapy, horses must receive the full dose (divided into two separate injections) at regular intervals as prescribed by a veterinarian.
What is Excede for?
- EXCEDE is indicated for the treatment of lower respiratory tract infections in horses caused by susceptible strains of S. equi subspecies zooepidemicus (S. zooepidemicus). S. zooepidemicus is the most common bacterial pathogen isolated from equine respiratory infections
Doseage and Administration:
- Shake well before using. Administer two intramuscular injections to the horse, four days apart (96 hours), at a dose of 1.5 mL per 100 pounds of body weight (3.0 mg/lb. or 6.6 mg/kg). A maximum of 10 mL per injection site may be administered.
- In clinical studies, administration of less than 10 mL per injection site minimized injection site reactions. Therapeutic drug concentrations are maintained for six days after the second injection or a total of 10 days from the beginning of treatment against S. zooepidemicus.
- Vial contents should be used within 12 weeks after the first dose is removed.
Safety
- EXCEDE: People with known hypersensitivity to penicillin or cephalosporins should avoid exposure to EXCEDE. EXCEDE is contraindicated in animals with known allergy to ceftiofur or to the β-lactam group (penicillins and cephalosporins) of antimicrobials. Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. The administration of antimicrobials in horses under conditions of stress may be associated with diarrhea, which may require appropriate veterinary therapy
