Adverse reactions
Although the product is well tolerated, occasionally a slight local reaction of a transient nature may be observed. Collapse has been reported with tetracyclines in weak or debilitated animals.
Other adverse reactions to oxytetracycline that have been observed include gastrointestinal disorders and, less frequently, allergic and photosensitivity reactions.
In very rare cases, hypersensitivity, allergic or anaphylactic type reactions may occur. If such reactions occur, appropriate treatment is recommended
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s))
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports).
