anaerobic cocci.
Lower Respiratory Tract Infections caused by E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp.,
P. aeruginosa, Serratia spp., H. influenzae, Bacteroides spp., or anaerobic cocci. Although
improvement has been noted in patients with cystic fibrosis, lasting bacterial eradication may not
necessarily be achieved.
Skin and Skin Structure Infections caused by E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Serratia spp.,
Acinetobacter spp., Enterobacter spp., P. aeruginosa, Morganella morganii,
Providencia rettgeri, Proteus vulgaris, P. mirabilis, Bacteroides spp., including B. fragilis,
anaerobic cocci, or enterococci.

PIPRACIL has also been shown to be clinically effective for the treatment of infections at
various sites caused by Streptococcus species including S. pyogenes and S. pneumoniae;
however, infections caused by these organisms are ordinarily treated with more narrow spectrum
penicillins. Because of its broad spectrum of bactericidal activity against gram-positive and
gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, PIPRACIL is particularly useful for the treatment
of mixed infections and presumptive therapy prior to the identification of the causative
organisms.
Also, PIPRACIL may be administered as single drug therapy in some situations where normally
two antibiotics might be employed.
Piperacillin has been successfully used with aminoglycosides, especially in patients with
impaired host defenses. Both drugs should be used in full therapeutic doses. - What is Polyflex?

of postmenopausal osteoporosis, therapy should only be considered for women at
21
significant risk of osteoporosis and for whom non-estrogen medications are not
considered to be appropriate. (See CLINICAL STUDIES.)
The mainstays for decreasing the risk of postmenopausal osteoporosis are weight-bearing
exercise, adequate calcium and Vitamin D intake, and when indicated, pharmacologic
therapy. Postmenopausal women require an average of 1500 mg/day of elemental
calcium. Therefore, when not contraindicated, calcium supplementation may be helpful
for women with suboptimal dietary intake. Vitamin D supplementation of 400-800
IU/day may also be required to ensure adequate daily intake in postmenopausal women. - What is Preparation H® used for?

-
Prevnar® is indicated for active immunization of infants and toddlers against invasive disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae due to capsular serotypes included in the vaccine (4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F). The routine schedule is 2, 4, 6, and 12 to 15 months of age.
The decision to administer Prevnar® should be based primarily on its efficacy in preventing invasive pneumococcal disease. As with any vaccine, Prevnar® may not protect all individuals receiving the vaccine from invasive pneumococcal disease.
Prevnar® is also indicated for active immunization of infants and toddlers against otitis media caused by serotypes included in the vaccine. However, for vaccine serotypes, protection against otitis media is expected to be substantially lower than protection against invasive disease. Additionally, because otitis media is caused by many organisms other than serotypes of S. pneumoniae represented in the vaccine, protection against all causes of otitis media is expected to be low.

QUEST Gel (moxidectin) provides horse owners with safe, effective control against a broad spectrum of internal parasites, including bots. Numerous research trials have demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of moxidectin in breeding mares, stallions, and foals 6 months or older. QUEST delays reappearance of strongyle eggs for 84 days, permits parasite and bot control with only four treatments per year, kills small strongyles in the encysted state with a single dose, and is formulated as an easy-to-use, clear gel that offers less mess and stress on horses and their owners. - What is Rapamune?
-
RAPAMUNE® (sirolimus) is indicated for the prophylaxis of organ rejection in patients aged 13 years or older receiving renal transplants. It is recommended that RAPAMUNE be used initially in a regimen with cyclosporine and corticosteroids. In patients at low to moderate immunologic risk cyclosporine should be withdrawn 2 to 4 months after transplantation and RAPAMUNE dose should be increased to reach recommended blood concentrations.
The safety and efficacy of cyclosporine withdrawal in high-risk patients have not been adequately studied and it is therefore not recommended. This includes patients with Banff grade III acute rejection or vascular rejection prior to cyclosporine withdrawal, those who are dialysis-dependent, or with serum creatinine >4.5 mg/dL, black patients, retransplants, multi-organ transplants, patients with high panel of reactive antibodies.
The safety and efficacy of Rapamune® have not been established in pediatric patients less than 13 years old, or in pediatric (< 18 years) renal transplant recipients considered at high immunologic risk. - What is ReFacto?
-
ReFacto® Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant) is indicated for the control and prevention of hemorrhagic episodes and for surgical prophylaxis in patients with hemophilia A (congenital factor VIII deficiency or classic hemophilia).
ReFacto is indicated for short-term routine prophylaxis to reduce the frequency of spontaneous bleeding episodes. The effect of regular routine prophylaxis on long-term morbidity and mortality is unknown.
ReFacto can be of a significant therapeutic value for treatment of hemophilia A in certain patients with inhibitors to factor VIII. In clinical studies of ReFacto, study subjects who developed inhibitors on study continued to manifest a clinical response when inhibitor titers were < 10 BU. When an inhibitor is present, the dosage requirement of factor VIII is variable. The dosage can be determined only by a clinical response and by monitoring of circulating factor VIII levels after treatment.
ReFacto does not contain von Willebrand factor and therefore is not indicated in von Willebrand's disease. - Suvaxyn RespiFend® MH
- Suvaxyn RespiFend® MH is an inactivated and adjuvanted bacterin to help protect healthy swine against disease caused by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. It safely and effectively reduces lung lesions caused by this disease organism. Because Mycoplasma infections can predispose swine to other respiratory diseases, such as Pasteurella and Actinobacillus infections, vaccinating with Suvaxyn RespiFend MH can help reduce the severity of these illnesses.

It is also approved to relieve chronic non-productive cough. Butorphonal tartrate is approved for use in horses, dogs and cats and is available in tablet and injectable form.
- Wbat is Trecator?
-
Trecator is primarily indicated for the treatment of active tuberculosis in patients with
M. tuberculosis resistant to isoniazid or rifampin, or when there is intolerance on the part of the
patient to other drugs. Its use alone in the treatment of tuberculosis results in the rapid
development of resistance. It is essential, therefore, to give a suitable companion drug or drugs,
the choice being based on the results of susceptibility tests. If the susceptibility tests indicate that
the patient's organism is resistant to one of the first-line antituberculosis drugs (i.e., isoniazid or
rifampin) yet susceptible to ethionamide, ethionamide should be accompanied by at least one
drug to which the M. tuberculosis isolate is known to be susceptible.3 If the tuberculosis is
resistant to both isoniazid and rifampin, yet susceptible to ethionamide, ethionamide should be
accompanied by at least two other drugs to which the M. tuberculosis isolate is known to be
susceptible. - What are Triangle Cattle Vaccines used for?
-
Triangle® Cattle Vaccines
Triangle 9 + Type II BVD and Triangle 4 + Type II BVD vaccines provide protection against IBR, Type 1 and 2 BVD, BRSV and PI3. The Triangle line of killed vaccines contains Singer and 5912 BVD strains, which provide for optimum BVD antigenic diversity. Triangle 9 + Type II BVD also contains five serovars of Leptospira.
Available from veterinarians and animal health suppliers, Triangle products help protect beef and dairy cattle against the four major viral respiratory pathogens, including BVDV, the most economically important viral pathogen of U.S. beef and dairy cattle. As viral strains in the cattle population have evolved over time, vaccine protection has changed as well. Current research suggests the Type 2 form of the BVD virus may now cause the majority of major BVD disease outbreaks. - What is Triphasil® (levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol tablets — triphasic regimen) 21- and 28-day regimens?
- Oral contraceptive
- What is Tygacil?
-
TYGACIL is indicated for the treatment of infections caused by susceptible strains of the designated microorganisms in the conditions listed below for patients 18 years of age and older:
Complicated skin and skin structure infections caused by Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis (vancomycin-susceptible isolates only), Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible and -resistant isolates), Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus anginosus grp. (includes S. anginosus, S. intermedius, and S. constellatus), Streptococcus pyogenes and Bacteroides fragilis.
Complicated intra-abdominal infections caused by Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis (vancomycin-susceptible isolates only), Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible isolates only), Streptococcus anginosus grp. (includes S. anginosus, S. intermedius, and S. constellatus), Bacteroides fragilis, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bacteroides uniformis, Bacteroides vulgatus, Clostridium perfringens, and Peptostreptococcus micros.
Appropriate specimens for bacteriological examination should be obtained in order to isolate and identify the causative organisms and to determine their susceptibility to tigecycline. TYGACIL may be initiated as empiric monotherapy before results of these tests are known.
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of TYGACIL and other antibacterial drugs, TYGACIL should be used only to treat infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy. - What is West Nile-Innovator?
