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).
