Dose to be administered and administration route
Intramammary use.
For single use only.
The contents of one syringe should be infused into the teat canal of each quarter immediately after the last milking of the lactation. Before infusion, the teat should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with the cleaning towel provided.
Remove the cap fully by holding the barrel of the syringe firmly in one hand and push up the cap with the thumb along the length of the cap until the cap clicks off. Take care not to contaminate the nozzle. Do not bend the nozzle.
Insert the nozzle into the teat canal and infuse the contents of one syringe.
Holding the end of the teat with one hand, gently massage upwards with the other hand to aid dispersion of the antibiotic into the quarter. The intramammary syringe must only be used once.
After treatment, it is recommended to dip the teats in an appropriate disinfectant solution.
