What is Hexasol used for?
Hexasol is used for the treatment of bacterial pneumonia associated with Pasteurella spp. and for the control of associated fever in beef and non-lactating dairy cattle.
For:
Beef and non-lactating dairy cattle, calves and yearlings.
Benefits:
Single dose treatment of bacterial pneumonia and control of associated fever.
How it works:
Hexasol contains Oxytetracycline and Flunixin. Oxytetracycline is an antimicrobial agent that effectively treats a wide range of diseases caused by susceptible bacteria. Flunixin has long acting anti-inflammatory properties.
What you should know:
Hexasol Injection is recommended where retreatment of calves and yearlings is impractical due to husbandry conditions, such as cattle on range, or where their repeated restraint is inadvisable. Discontinue treatment at least 21 days prior to slaughter of cattle.
How to give this medication:
Administer Hexasol Injection once as an intramuscular or subcutaneous injection of 1 ml per 22 lbs. body weight (13.6 mg oxytetracycline and 0.9 mg flunixin per lb. body weight). Do not administer more than 10 ml per injection site (1 to 2 ml per site in small calves). Give this medication exactly as directed by your veterinarian. If you do not understand the directions, ask the veterinarian or pharmacist to explain them to you.
If you miss a dose:
Hexasol is a one-dose treatment. Give it as soon as indicated.
Hexasol should not be used in:
Do not use Hexasol in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older, bulls intended for breeding, and calves intended to be processed for veal.
Possible side effects:
Injection site swelling, restlessness, ataxia, trembling, swelling of eyelids, ears, muzzle, anus and vulva (or scrotum and sheath in males), respiratory abnormalities (labored breathing), frothing at the mouth, collapse and possibly death. Some of these reactions may be attributed either to anaphylaxis (an allergic reaction) or to cardiovascular collapse of unknown cause.
