PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES:
ATC-vet code: QJ51 — Antibacterial veterinary products for intramammary use.

CEFA-SEC is a long-acting combination product that includes three antibiotics from different groups and vitamin A for comprehensive protection and restoration of the mammary gland.

• • Cephalexin (cephalosporin) disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis and is effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens (E. coli, Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Proteus spp., Klebsiella spp.).
    • Neomycin (aminoglycoside) inhibits bacterial protein synthesis and exerts bactericidal activity, enhancing the antimicrobial effect of the combination.
    • Cloxacillin benzathine provides prolonged activity against mastitis pathogens, including penicillin-resistant strains (Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus agalactiae, S. uberis, S. dysgalactiae).
    • Vitamin A supports regeneration of the udder epithelium, protects tissues, and reduces the consequences of inflammation.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:
For administration to cows during the dry period:
• Treatment of subclinical mastitis;
• Prevention of intramammary infections during the dry period.
