MODE OF ACTION
Cephapirin, a first-generation cephalosporin, is a broad-spectrum
antibiotic with bactericidal action
against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Cephapirin is
resistant to the action of
penicillinase and is active in an anaerobic environment such as is
encountered in an infected
uterus. After a single treatment with Metricure, concentrations of
cephapirin in endometrial tissue
above the MIC of sensitive bacteria are maintained for at least 24
hours.
INDICATIONS
Metricure is indicated for the treatment of subacute and chronic
endometritis in cows (at least 14
days after parturition) caused by bacteria sensitive to cephapirin.
Important endometritis
pathogens sensitive to cephapirin include _Trueperella _
_(_
_Arcanobacterium) pyogenes_, and
anaerobic bacteria such as _Fusobacterium necrophorum_ and
black-pigmented Gram-negative
anaerobes.
Metricure can also be used to treat repeat breeder cases (more than
three unsuccessful
inseminations), if bacterial infections are suspected to be the cause
of the fertility problem.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
The contents of one Metricure syringe should be introduced into the
lumen of the uterus using a
catheter.
•
Fix the syringe to the catheter.
•
Take the cervix of the uterus into one gloved hand introduced into the
rectum.
•
Introduce the catheter through the cervix into the l
