Fortitude EDC
R 33.00
Fortitude EDC (Extra Dry Cow) is an intramammary antibiotic, primarily for cattle to treat and prevent mastitis during the dry period, but it’s also used for horses for general infections like “mucky eyes” (eye infections) as a penicillin replacement, offering a long-acting antibacterial effect for various bacterial issues. It contains cloxacillin benzathine (600mg per syringe) and works against penicillin-resistant and sensitive bacteria, providing extended protection.

Key Uses & Benefits for Horses (and Livestock):
- Antibacterial Action: Effective against Staphylococci and Streptococci bacteria.
- Eye Infections: Used as a gentle treatment for “mucky eyes” (conjunctivitis/eye discharge) in horses, often as an alternative to Pen-Strep.
- Dry Cow Therapy (Cattle): Its primary design is for cattle, where it’s infused into the udder after the last milking to maintain antibacterial levels for weeks.
- Long-Acting: The cloxacillin benzathine formulation provides prolonged antibiotic levels.
How it’s Used (General Guidance):
- Dosage: Typically one syringe per affected quarter (udder/eye).
- Administration: Infused into the teat canal for cattle; for horses, it’s often applied topically or as directed by a vet for eye issues, as it’s not designed for deep intramammary infusion in horses.
Important Note: While commonly available in South Africa and used off-label for horses, always consult a veterinarian before using Fortitude EDC, as it’s formulated and labeled for cattle, and proper diagnosis and dosage for horses are crucial.
