Bacterial infections in livestock can rapidly affect health, productivity, and reproductive performance, leading to serious economic losses if not treated on time. Ceftocid Injection, powered by Ceftriaxone, is a broad-spectrum veterinary antibiotic formulated to combat severe bacterial infections in cattle, buffaloes, goats, and sheep.
๐งช Active Composition
- Ceftriaxone โ Third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic (as per label claim)
โ๏ธ How Ceftocid Injection Works
Ceftriaxone acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, resulting in the destruction of sensitive microorganisms. Its long-acting nature provides sustained therapeutic levels for up to 24 hours, allowing once-daily dosing.
Thanks to its broad antimicrobial spectrum and ฮฒ-lactamase resistance, Ceftocid Injection remains effective even in severe, mixed, or resistant infections, especially in unhygienic or high-density farming environments.
