What It's For (FDA Label Highlights)
Extracted from FDA Animal Drugs @ FDA product labeling. Always confirm details with your veterinarian.
Composition / specifications
ToDAY (cephapirin sodium intramammary infusion) should be used should be used at the first signs of inflammation or at the first indication of any alteration in the milk. Treatment is indicated immediately upon determining, by C.M.T. or other tests, that the leukocyte count is elevated, or that a susceptible pathogen has been cultured from the milk. ToDAY has been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of mastitis in lactating cows caused by susceptible strains of Streptococcus agalactiae and Staphylococcus aureus including strains resistant to penicillin.
Infuse the entire contents of one syringe (10 mL) into each infected quarter immediately after the quarter has been completely milked out. Repeat once only in 12 hours. If definite improvement is not noted within 48 hours after treatment, the causal organism should be further investigated. Consult your veterinarian. Do not milk out for 12 hours.
