Draxxin® KP (tulathromycin and ketoprofen injection):
A way to fight BRD

Zoetis Draxxin KP antibiotic vial
Stressful moments are commonplace on any operation. Anything from shipping to diet changes can lead to your calves being more susceptible to harmful bacterial pathogens establishing in the respiratory tract. If signs of BRD such as coughing, changes in activity or reduced feed intake occur, it’s time to make a treatment decision. There is only one choice that combines the fast-acting NSAID ketoprofen and trusted antimicrobial tulathromycin: Draxxin® KP (tulathromycin and ketoprofen injection) Injectable Solution.

Features and benefits

Draxxin KP: One shot. Two ingredients. Fast recovery.

  • Ketoprofen controls fever, which may help animals feel better.1*
  • Tulathromycin reaches therapeutic levels rapidly and begins to fight against damaging pathogens: Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, Histophilus somni and Mycoplasma bovis.2*
  • Low-volume single-dose treatment = fewer injections
  • The same dose size and similar viscosity as Draxxin® (tulathromycin injection) Injectable Solution, so you should expect similar year-round syringeability as Draxxin.
  • Proven first-time treatment success with Draxxin = less labor and handling time1,2,6*

Treat BRD and control fever effectively

The difference of Draxxin® KP

As the antimicrobial in Draxxin KP gets to effective levels, ketoprofen is already at work controlling fever as soon as one hour after administration.2* In the critical first six hours after treatment, Draxxin KP reduces fever significantly when compared with an antimicrobial alone for up to 24 hours.1-4*
