Tulathromycin
Tulathromycin, sold under the brand name Draxxin among others, is a macrolide antibiotic used to treat bovine respiratory disease in cattle and swine respiratory disease in pigs. Medical uses Tulathromycin is indicated for: Cattle: Treatment and metaphylaxis of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) associated with ''Mannheimia haemolytica'', '' Pasteurella multocida'', ''Histophilus somni'', and ''Mycoplasma bovis'' sensitive to tulathromycin. Treatment of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) associated with ''Moraxella bovis'' sensitive to tulathromycin. Pigs: Treatment and metaphylaxis of swine respiratory disease (SRD) associated with ''Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae'', '' Pasteurella multocida'', ''Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae'', ''Haemophilus parasuis'', and ''Bordetella bronchiseptica'' sensitive to tulathromycin. Sheep: Treatment of the early stages of infectious pododermatitis (foot rot) associated with virulent ''Dichelobacter nodosus'' requiring systemic treatmen ...

Intramuscular
Intramuscular injection, often abbreviated IM, is the injection of a substance into a muscle. In medicine, it is one of several methods for parenteral administration of medications. Intramuscular injection may be preferred because muscles have larger and more numerous blood vessels than subcutaneous tissue, leading to faster absorption than subcutaneous or intradermal injections. Medication administered via intramuscular injection is not subject to the first-pass metabolism effect which affects oral medications. Common sites for intramuscular injections include the deltoid muscle of the upper arm and the gluteal muscle of the buttock. In infants, the vastus lateralis muscle of the thigh is commonly used. The injection site must be cleaned before administering the injection, and the injection is then administered in a fast, darting motion to decrease the discomfort to the individual. The volume to be injected in the muscle is usually limited to 2–5 milliliters, depending on inj ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Subcutaneous Injection
Subcutaneous administration is the insertion of medications beneath the skin either by injection or infusion. A subcutaneous injection is administered as a bolus into the subcutis, the layer of skin directly below the dermis and epidermis, collectively referred to as the cutis. The instruments are usually a hypodermic needle and a syringe. Subcutaneous injections are highly effective in administering medications such as insulin, morphine, diacetylmorphine and goserelin. Subcutaneous administration may be abbreviated as SC, SQ, subcu, sub-Q, SubQ, or subcut. Subcut is the preferred abbreviation to reduce the risk of misunderstanding and potential errors. Subcutaneous tissue has few blood vessels and so drugs injected here are for slow, sustained rates of absorption, often with some amount of depot effect. Compared with other routes of administration, it is slower than intramuscular injections but still faster than intradermal injections. Subcutaneous infusion (as opposed ...
