Injectable Solution …
controls all three major bacterial causes of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) and even treats foot rot.
Unique, fast-acting, long-lasting antibiotic for treatment of bovine respiratory disease, foot rot and control of respiratory disease in cattle at high risk of developing bovine respiratory disease.

• Kills two major bacteria that cause BRD: Mannheimia haemolytica and Histophilus somni. Begins killing within 30 minutes and eliminates 99.9% of those bacteria within 24 hours. Continues to kill for 68 hours and remains inhibitory through 96 hours.¹
• Inhibits the third major bacterial cause of BRD: Pasteurella multocida.²
• Effective, versatile, broad spectrum therapy in the hospital and on arrival of cattle at risk of developing BRD.
• Lowers risk with high-risk cattle – treat on arrival.
• Fewer repulls and retreatments.
• Easy to use, requires no mixing or reformulation and isn’t contraindicated in automatic injection equipment.

NUFLOR Injectable Solution is indicated for treatment of bovine respiratory disease (BRD), associated with Mannheimia (Pasteurella) haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, and Histophilus somni, and for the treatment of bovine interdigital phlegmon (foot rot, acute interdigital necrobacillosis, infectious pododermatitis) associated with Fusobacterium necrophorum and Bacteroides melaninogenicus. Also, it is indicated for the control of respiratory disease in cattle at high risk of developing BRD associated with Mannheimia (Pasteurella) haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, and Histophilus somni.

Warnings

RESIDUE WARNINGS: Animals intended for human consumption must not be slaughtered within 28 days of the last intramuscular treatment. Animals intended for human consumption must not be slaughtered within 38 days of subcutaneous treatment. This product is not approved for use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older, including dry dairy cows. Use in these cattle may cause drug residues in milk and/or in calves born to these cows. A withdrawal period has not been established in pre-ruminating calves.

Dosage and Administration

For treatment of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) and bovine interdigital phlegmon (foot rot):

NUFLOR Injectable Solution should be administered by intramuscular injection to cattle at a dose rate of 20mg/kg body weight (3 mL/100 lbs). A second dose should be administered 48 hours later. Alternatively, NUFLOR Injectable Solution can be administered by a single subcutaneous injection to cattle at a dose rate of 40mg/kg body weight (6 mL/100 lbs). Do not administer more than 10 mL at each site. The injection should be given only in the neck.

NOTE: Intramuscular injection may result in local tissue reaction which persists beyond 28 days. This may result in trim loss of edible tissue at slaughter. Tissue reaction at injection sites other than the neck is likely to be more severe.

For control of respiratory disease in cattle at high-risk of developing BRD:

NUFLOR Injectable Solution should be administered by a single subcutaneous injection to cattle at a dose rate of 40mg/kg body weight (6 mL/100 lbs). Do not administer more than 10 mL at each site. The injection should be given only in the neck.
