Resflor Gold for Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD)

Effective Dual-Action Treatment

Resflor Gold is a powerful, injectable solution specifically designed for the treatment of bovine respiratory disease (BRD), a serious illness that can compromise cattle's respiratory health and productivity.

Formulated with florfenicol, a synthetic antibiotic, and flunixin meglumine, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), Resflor Gold offers comprehensive relief by targeting both the underlying infection and associated fever.

 This dual-action approach is essential in managing BRD symptoms effectively, as controlling fever promotes faster recovery and reduces the risk of long-term lung damage.

All prescription items are Non-Refundable and Non-Returnable.

What Are the Benefits of Resflor Gold?

  • Rapid Fever Reduction: Fever is a critical symptom of BRD that can delay recovery. Resflor Gold’s flunixin meglumine component quickly reduces fever, which helps relieve discomfort and promotes a faster recovery in cattle.
  • Powerful Antibiotic Action: Florfenicol fights major pathogens responsible for BRD, effectively reducing infection. Its broad-spectrum coverage includes activity against Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, and Histophilus somni, three of the primary BRD pathogens.
  • Dual-Action Relief: By combining an antibiotic with an anti-inflammatory, Resflor Gold reduces both infection and inflammation, offering a comprehensive treatment that minimizes further lung damage and improves overall lung function.
  • Visible Symptom Relief: Resflor Gold quickly alleviates key BRD symptoms, such as labored breathing and lethargy, making it an ideal solution for managing outbreaks within herds.

What are the Ingredients in Resflor Gold?

Resflor Gold contains two active ingredients, each serving a specific purpose in treating bovine respiratory disease (BRD):

  • Florfenicol: A synthetic broad-spectrum antibiotic that targets and combats the bacteria causing BRD.
  • Flunixin Meglumine: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces fever and alleviates pain associated with respiratory infections.

This combination addresses both the infection and inflammation, making it an effective dual-action treatment.

Guaranteed Analysis

  • Florfenicol: 300 mg/ml
  • Flunixin Meglumine: 16.5 mg/ml

How It Works

Resflor Gold’s two-in-one approach works by both eliminating the harmful bacteria responsible for BRD and managing the inflammation and fever that worsen the disease. Florfenicol attacks the bacterial pathogens directly, helping to control infection, while flunixin meglumine quickly lowers fever and reduces inflammation. This synergy allows cattle to experience rapid symptom relief and promotes faster recovery, preserving lung function and overall health.

What is so special about Resflor Gold?

Resflor Gold stands out due to its dual-action formula that combines the antibiotic florfenicol and the NSAID flunixin meglumine, making it uniquely effective for both treating infections and reducing fever in cattle with bovine respiratory disease (BRD).

How does Resflor Gold compare to other BRD treatments?

Resflor Gold’s combination of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory ingredients allows it to target both the infection and fever associated with BRD, providing faster symptom relief than antibiotics alone. This dual-action formulation makes it an optimal choice when rapid recovery is essential in herd management.

Can Resflor Gold be used preventatively in cattle?

Resflor Gold is designed to treat active cases of BRD and reduce fever but is not indicated for preventative use. Preventative strategies should focus on vaccination, proper nutrition, and minimizing environmental stressors, as advised by a veterinarian.
