Product Description
Orbenin-DC is indicated in the treatment and prophylaxis of bovine mastitis in nonlactating cows due to Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae. Orbenin-DC (cloxacillin benzathine intramammary infusion) is a stable, nonirritating suspension of cloxacillin benzathine containing the equivalent of 500 mg of cloxacillin per disposable syringe. Orbenin-DC is manufactured by a nonsterilizing process. Cloxacillin benzathine is a semisynthetic penicillin derived from the penicillin nucleus, 6-amino-penicillanic acid. Cloxacillin benzathine is the benzathine salt of 6-[3-(2-chlorophenyl)-5-methylisoxazolyl-4-carboxamido] penicillanic acid. The low solubility of Orbenin-DC results in an extended period of activity. Therefore, directions for use should be followed explicitly.

What are the side effects of Orbenin-DC (Cloxacillin Benzathine Intramammary Infusion) for Dry Cows 7.5 g?
Because it is a derivative of 6-amino-penicillanic acid, Orbenin-DC has the potential for producing allergic reactions. Such reactions are rare; however, should they occur, the subject should be treated with the usual agents (antihistamines, pressor amines).
What special precautions are there?
CONTRAINDICATIONS: Because cloxacillin benzathine is relatively insoluble, Orbenin-DC’s activity will be prolonged. Therefore, Orbenin-DC should not be used for the occasional cow which may have a dry period of less than 4 weeks. This precaution will avoid residues in the milk following removal of the colostrum. WARNINGS: For use in dry cows only. Do not use within 4 weeks (28 days) of calving. Treated animals must not be slaughtered for food purposes within 4 weeks (28 days) of treatment. PRECAUTION: Because it is a derivative of 6-amino-penicillanic acid, Orbenin-DC has the potential for producing allergic reactions. Such reactions are rare; however, should they occur, the subject should be treated with the usual agents (antihistamines, pressor amines).

Overview
Use as directed by your Veterinarian. 

At the last milking of lactation, milk the cow out normally. Clean and disinfect the teats with alcohol swabs provided in the carton or pail, and infuse 1 syringe of Orbenin-DC, which has been warmed to room temperature, into each quarter. Do not milk out. The cow may be milked as usual when she calves. The extent of subclinical and latent mastitis in a herd is frequently greater than suspected. In untreated herds a significant buildup of subclinical mastitis may occur during the dry period, which results in clinical severity after a few lactations. The adverse influence of subclinical mastitis on milk yield, the risk of cross-infection, and the chance of clinical mastitis flare-up make it necessary to treat the matter as a herd problem. Clinical studies have proven the value of treating all the cows in heavily infected herds as they are dried off. When the herd infection has been reduced, it may be desirable to be more selective in treating infected quarters. Each carton contains 12 alcohol swabs to facilitate proper cleaning and disinfecting of the teat orifice.
