4.4
None.
4.5
For systemically administered broad spectrum cephalosporins (3
rd
and 4
th
generation, such as ceftiofur), it
should be reflected that these are to be reserved for the treatment of clinical conditions which have
responded poorly, or are expected to respond poorly, to more narrow spectrum antimicrobials. Increased
use, including use of the product deviating from the instructions given in the SPC, may increase the
prevalence of bacteria resistant to ceftiofur. Official, national and regional antimicrobial policies should be
taken into account when the product is used.
2
Whenever possible, cephalosporins should only be used based on susceptibility testing. When considering
the treatment strategy, it is appropriate to consider improvement of the herd management practice and use
supporting treatment with suitable local products (e.g. disinfectants).
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to
animals
Penicillins and cephalosporins such as ceftiofur may cause hypersensitivity in people and in animals
following injection, inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. Hypersensitivity to penicillins may lead to cross
reactions to cephalosporins and vice versa. Allergic reactions to these substances may occasionally be
serious.
People with known hypersensitivity to penicillins and cephalosporins should avoid contact with this
veterinary medicinal product.
Avoid contact with skin or eyes. In the event of contact, wash with clean water.
If you develop symptoms following exposure such as a skin rash or persistent eye irritation, you should
seek medical advice and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician. Swelling of the face, lips or
eyes or difficulty with breathing are more serious symptoms and require urgent medical attention.
4.6
Occasionally, transient local swelling may occur following intramuscular injection.
Mild tissue reactions at the injection site, such as small areas (less than 6 cm²) of discolouration and small
cysts have been observed for up to 42 days after injection. Resolution has been observed at 56 days post-
injection. In very rare cases anaphylactic type reactions may occur following administration of the product.
Laboratory studies in mice have not produced any evidence of teratogenic, foetotoxic or maternotoxic
effects. Laboratory studies in rats revealed no teratogenic effects but maternotoxic (soft faeces) and
foetotoxic (reduced fetal weight) effects were observed. No effects on the reproductive performance were
observed in both species. No studies have been conducted in pregnant or lactating sows, or in breeding
pigs. Use only according to the benefit/risk assessment by the responsible veterinarian.
None known.
4.9
Intramuscular use.
5 mg ceftiofur/kg body weight (equivalent to 1 ml of NAXCEL per 20 kg body weight) administered once
in the neck by intramuscular injection. Shake bottle vigorously for 30 seconds, or until all visual
settlement has been resuspended.
To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be accurately determined to avoid under-dosing.
It is recommended to limit injection volumes to a maximum of 4 ml.
Owing to the low toxicity of ceftiofur in pigs overdoses do not typically lead to any clinical signs, other
than transient local swellings as described in section 5.4 (undesirable effects).
Meat and offal: 71 days

Pharmacotherapeutic group: third generation cephalosporins.
ATCvet code: QJ01DD90.
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Ceftiofur is a third generation cephalosporin antibiotic, which is active against many Gram-positive and
Gram-negative pathogens. Ceftiofur inhibits the bacterial cell wall synthesis, thereby exerting bactericidal
properties.
Ceftiofur is particularly active against the following target pathogens causing respiratory and other
diseases in pigs:
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae
,
Pasteurella multocida
,
Haemophilus parasuis
and
Streptococcus suis
.
Bordetella bronchiseptica
is inherently insensitive to ceftiofur
in vitro
.
Desfuroylceftiofur is the principal active metabolite. It has an antimicrobial activity similar to that of
ceftiofur against the target pathogens.
At the recommended therapeutic dose, concentrations in plasma were higher than the MIC
90
values
(<0.2 µg/ml) for the target bacteria isolated in clinical studies for at least 158 hours.
5.2
Pharmacokinetic particulars
After administration, ceftiofur is quickly metabolised to desfuroylceftiofur, the principal active metabolite.
Protein binding of ceftiofur and its major metabolite is approximately 70 %. One hour after a single
administration, plasma concentrations are above 1 µg/ml. Maximum concentrations in plasma (4.2 ± 0.9
µg/ml) are reached at approximately 22 hours after administration. Plasma concentrations above 0.2 µg/ml
of ceftiofur and its metabolite are maintained for an appropriate period of time.
Approximately 60 % and 15 % of the dose are excreted in the urine and faeces, respectively, within 10
days after administration.

Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to
animals
Penicillins and cephalosporins such as ceftiofur may cause hypersensitivity in people and in animals
following injection, inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. Hypersensitivity to penicillins may lead to cross
reactions to cephalosporins and vice versa. Allergic reactions to these substances may occasionally be
serious.
People with known hypersensitivity to penicillins and cephalosporins should avoid contact with this
veterinary medicinal product.
Avoid contact with skin or eyes. In the event of contact, wash with clean water.
If you develop symptoms following exposure such as a skin rash or persistent eye irritation, you should
seek medical advice and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician. Swelling of the face, lips or
eyes or difficulty with breathing are serious reactions and require urgent medical attention.
Visible swellings have been noted at the injection site in about two thirds of treated animals, two days
after injection in field conditions. These reactions will resolve within a maximum of 23 days. Injection site
swellings may result in mild to moderate pain in some animals in the initial days following injection.
In very rare cases (i.e. in less than 1 out of 10,000 animals), sudden death has been reported following
administration of the product. In such cases, death has been attributed to intra-vascular administration of
the product or anaphylaxis.
Pregnancy:
Laboratory studies in mice have not produced any evidence of teratogenic, foetotoxic or maternotoxic
effects. Laboratory studies in rats have shown no evidence of teratogenic effects but maternotoxic (soft
faeces) and foetotoxic (reduced foetal weight) effects were observed. No effects on the reproductive
performance were observed in both species. No specific studies have been conducted in pregnant cows.
Use only according to the benefit/risk assessment by the responsible veterinarian.
Lactation:
This veterinary medicinal product can be used during lactation.
Fertility:
No specific studies have been conducted in breeding cattle. Use only according to the benefit/risk
assessment by the responsible veterinarian.
None known.
4.9
Single subcutaneous injection of 6.6 mg ceftiofur/kg body weight (equivalent to 1 ml of NAXCEL per 30
kg body weight) administered at the base of the ear.
To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be accurately determined to avoid under-dosing.
It is recommended to limit injection volumes to a maximum of 30 ml per injection site.
Shake the bottle vigorously for 30 seconds, or until all visual settlement has been resuspended.
7
Base of the ear administration:
• Administer in the posterior part of the ear base (see Figure 2).
• Hold the syringe and insert the needle behind the animal’s ear so the needle and syringe point in the
direction of an imaginary line that would pass through the head toward the animal’s opposite eye (see
Figure 1).
• Take appropriate precautions to avoid intra-arterial or intravenous injection.

of NAXCEL at the posterior aspect of
the ear where it attaches to the head
(base of ear)
Figure 2. Injection location for the
subcutaneous administration of
NAXCEL at the posterior aspect of the
ear where it attaches to the head (base

If the clinical signs of necrobacillosis have not improved 48 hours after treatment, the diagnosis and
treatment of the condition should be re-evaluated.
In cattle, although NAXCEL has not been specifically tested for overdoses, no signs of systemic toxicity
related to ceftiofur have been observed following 55 mg/kg parenteral daily overdoses of ceftiofur sodium
for five days.
Meat and offal: 9 days.
Milk: zero days.
It is essential that NAXCEL is only administered subcutaneously at the base of ear location in non-edible
tissue, as described in section 4.9, in order to comply with the meat withdrawal period.

Pharmacotherapeutic group: third generation cephalosporins, ATCvet code: QJ01DD90.
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Ceftiofur is a third generation cephalosporin antibiotic, which is active against many Gram-positive and
Gram-negative pathogens. Ceftiofur inhibits the bacterial cell wall synthesis, thereby exerting bactericidal
properties.
Ceftiofur is active against the following target pathogens causing interdigital necrobacillosis in cattle:
Bacteroides
spp.,
Fusobacterium necrophorum
,
Porphyromonas
spp.
and
Prevotella
spp.
8
Desfuroylceftiofur is the principal active metabolite. It has an antimicrobial activity similar to that of
ceftiofur against the target pathogens.
5.2 Pharmacokinetic particulars
Ceftiofur is well absorbed in cattle following base of the ear injection. After administration, ceftiofur is
quickly metabolised to desfuroylceftiofur, the principal active metabolite. Protein binding of ceftiofur and
its major metabolite is approximately 70–90 %. One hour after a single administration, plasma
concentrations are greater than 1 µg/ml. Maximum concentrations in plasma (about 5 µg/ml) occurred
from 12 hours following administration. Plasma concentrations above 0.2 µg/ml of ceftiofur and its
metabolite are maintained for at least 7 days.
At the recommended therapeutic dose, concentrations in plasma were higher than the Minimum Inhibitory
Concentrations (MIC) values (<0.2 µg/ml) for the majority of target bacteria isolated in clinical studies for
at least 7 days.

benefit/risk assessment by the responsible veterinarian.
In the absence of compatibility studies, this veterinary medicinal product must not be mixed with other
veterinary medicinal products.
Special precautions for people:
Penicillins and cephalosporins such as ceftiofur may cause hypersensitivity in people and in animals
following injection, inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. Hypersensitivity to penicillins may lead to cross
reactions to cephalosporins and vice versa. Allergic reactions to these substances may occasionally be
serious.
People with known hypersensitivity to penicillins and cephalosporins should avoid contact with this
veterinary medicinal product.
Avoid contact with skin or eyes. In the event of contact, wash with clean water. If you develop symptoms
following exposure such as a skin rash or persistent eye irritation, you should seek medical advice.
Swelling of the face, lips or eyes or difficulty with breathing are more serious symptoms and require
urgent medical attention.

Visible swellings have been noted at the injection site in about two thirds of treated animals, two days
after injection in field conditions. These reactions will resolve within a maximum of 23 days. Injection site
swellings may result in mild to moderate pain in some animals in the initial days following injection.
In very rare cases (i.e. in less than 1 out of 10,000 animals), sudden death has been reported following
administration of the product. In such cases, death has been attributed to intra-vascular administration of
the product or anaphylaxis.
If you notice any serious effects or other effects not mentioned in this leaflet, please inform your
veterinary surgeon.

DOSAGE FOR EACH SPECIES, ROUTE(S) AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Single subcutaneous injection of 6.6 mg ceftiofur/kg body weight (equivalent to 1 ml of NAXCEL per 30
kg body weight) administered at the base of the ear.
9.
ADVICE ON CORRECT ADMINISTRATION
To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be accurately determined to avoid under-dosing.
It is recommended to limit injection volumes to a maximum of 30 ml per injection site.
Shake the bottle vigorously for 30 seconds, or until all visual settlement has been resuspended.
Base of the ear administration:
• Administer in the posterior part of the ear base (see Figure 2).
• Hold the syringe and insert the needle behind the animal’s ear so the needle and syringe point in the
direction of an imaginary line that would pass through the head toward the animal’s opposite eye (see
Figure 1).
• Take appropriate precautions to avoid intra-arterial or intravenous injection.

If the clinical signs of necrobacillosis have not improved 48 hours after treatment, the diagnosis and
treatment of the condition should be re-evaluated.
10. WITHDRAWAL PERIOD
Meat and offal: 9 days.
Milk: zero days.
It is essential that NAXCEL is only administered subcutaneously at the base of ear location in non-edible
tissue, as described in section 9, in order to comply with the meat withdrawal period.
11. SPECIAL STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
C.
Do not use after the expiry date stated on the label after EXP.
Shelf-life after first opening the container: 28 days.
12. SPECIAL WARNING(S)
Special precautions for the animal:
Whenever possible, cephalosporins should only be used based on susceptibility testing.
For systemically administered broad spectrum cephalosporins (3
rd
and 4
th
generation, such as ceftiofur), it
should be reflected that these are to be reserved for the treatment of clinical conditions which have
responded poorly, or are expected to respond poorly, to more narrow spectrum antimicrobials. Increased
use, including use of the product deviating from the instructions given above, may increase the prevalence
of bacteria resistant to ceftiofur. Official, national and regional antimicrobial policies should be taken into
account when the product is used.
When considering the treatment strategy, it is appropriate to consider improvement of the herd
management practice and use supporting treatment with suitable local products (e.g. disinfectants).
No specific studies have been conducted in pregnant cows or in breeding cattle. Use only according to the
benefit/risk assessment by the responsible veterinarian.
In the absence of compatibility studies, this veterinary medicinal product must not be mixed with other
veterinary medicinal products.
Special precautions for people:
Penicillins and cephalosporins such as ceftiofur may cause hypersensitivity in people and in animals
following injection, inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. Hypersensitivity to penicillins may lead to cross
reactions to cephalosporins and vice versa. Allergic reactions to these substances may occasionally be
serious.
People with known hypersensitivity to penicillins and cephalosporins should avoid contact with this
veterinary medicinal product.
Avoid contact with skin or eyes. In the event of contact, wash with clean water. If you develop symptoms
following exposure such as a skin rash or persistent eye irritation, you should seek medical advice.
Swelling of the face, lips or eyes or difficulty with breathing are more serious symptoms and require
urgent medical attention.
