Parnell Technologies Pty. Ltd., a pharmaceutical company, has announced the U.S. launch of nixiFLOR� (florfenicol and flunixin meglumine) injectable solution, the first FDA-approved generic combination of these two drugs for the treatment of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in cattle.

Why it matters

The launch of nixiFLOR� provides cattle producers and veterinarians with a new, more affordable treatment option for BRD, which is one of the most common and costly diseases affecting the beef and dairy industries. The combination of florfenicol and flunixin meglumine in a single injectable solution can help simplify treatment protocols and potentially improve outcomes for cattle with BRD.

The details

nixiFLOR� is a generic version of Banamine� (flunixin meglumine) and Nuflor� (florfenicol), two widely used medications for the treatment of BRD. The combination product is designed to provide anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties in a single injection, potentially reducing the number of injections required and improving compliance.

  • nixiFLOR� was recently approved by the FDA for the treatment of BRD in cattle.
