Ceporex Injection is indicated for antibiotic therapy in cattle, cats and dogs. Cefalexin is a broad spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic with bactericidal activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The following micro-organisms have been shown to be sensitive to cefalexin in vitro: Staphylococcus spp. (including penicillin-resistant strains) Streptococcus spp. Actinomyces bovis Corynebacterium spp. Haemophilus spp. Pasteurella spp. Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae Escherichia coli Clostridium spp. Proteus spp. Salmonella spp. Micrococcus spp. Fusobacterium spp. Moraxella spp. Peptostreptococcus spp. Actinobacillus lignieresi Peptococcus spp. When susceptible organisms are present, Ceporex Injection is indicated in the treatment of infections of the respiratory tract, urogenital tract, the skin and localised infections in soft tissues in dogs and cats. In dogs it may also be effective in the treatment of the gastrointestinal tract. Trials have shown Ceporex Injection to be of particular value in treating metritis, foot infections, wounds and abscesses and in the treatment of septicaemic mastitis to supplement intramammary therapy in cattle.

Withdrawals Hypersensitivity to cefalexin is very rare. However, Ceporex Injection should not be administered to animals which are known to be hypersensitive to cefalexin. Ceporex Injection is not suitable for intravenous or intrathecal administration. As with other antibiotics which are excreted mainly by the kidneys, unnecessary accumulation may occur in the body when renal function is impaired. In cases of known renal insufficiency the dose should be reduced. Operator warnings Care should be taken to avoid accidental self-injection. In the case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately. Cephalosporins may cause sensitisation (allergy) following injection, inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. Sensitivity to penicillin may lead to cross sensitivity to cephalosporins and vice versa. Allergic reactions to these substances may occasionally be serious. 1Do not handle this product if you know you are sensitised, or if you have been advised not to work with such preparations. 2Handle this product with great care to avoid exposure taking all recommended precautions. 3If you develop symptoms following exposure as a skin rash you should seek medical advice and show the Doctor this warning. Swelling of the face, lips or eyes or difficulty breathing are more serious symptoms and require urgent medical attention.Use of the product may result in localised tissue reaction. Wash hands after use. Overdose: Administration of Cefalexin at up to twice the recommended dose in cattle and at up to three times the recommended dose in dogs and cats does not produce any adverse effects. Withdrawal periods: Cattle - 19 days. Cattle (milk) – Zero hours. Animals for human consumption must not be slaughtered during treatment. For animal treatment only. Keep out of the sight and reach of children.
