Cobactan LC

Cobactan LC is a mastitis injector for intramammary use during the lactation period, containing a 4th generation cephalosporin. Cefquinome is an antibiotic of the ß – lactam class, belonging to the group of cephalosporins. The unique shape of the cefquinome molecule facilitates a rapid distribution and entry into bacterial cells walls, resulting in a high cure rate and a quick return to milk production following administration. The active ingredient is highly resistant against ß – lactamases and has a broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including ß – lactamase producing staphylococci, and Gram-negative bacteria such as E coli.
