Dose to be administered and administration route
For intramammary use.
The contents of one syringe should be infused into the teat canal of each quarter immediately after the last milking of the lactation. Avoid contamination of the nozzle after removing the cap. Before infusion, thoroughly clean and disinfect the end of the teat with the cleaning towel provided.
Option 1: For short nozzle intramammary administration hold the barrel of the syringe and the base of the cap in one hand and twist off the small upper part of the cap above the indent mark (the base portion of the cap remains on the syringe). Take care not to contaminate the short exposed part of the nozzle.
Option 1: For short nozzle intramammary administration.
Option 2: For full nozzle intramammary administration remove the cap fully by holding the barrel of the syringe firmly in one hand and with the thumb push up and along the length of the cap until the cap clicks off. Take care not to contaminate the nozzle.
Option 2: For full nozzle intramammary administration.
Insert the nozzle into the teat canal and apply steady pressure on the syringe plunger until the full dose has been delivered. Holding the end of the teat with one hand, gently massage upwards with the other to aid dispersion of the antibiotic into the quarter.
After infusion it is advisable to dip the teats in an antiseptic preparation specifically designed for this purpose.
Adverse reactions
In very rare cases immediate hypersensitivity reactions were observed in some animals (restlessness, tremors, swelling of mammary gland, eyelids and lips). These reactions can lead to death.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals displaying adverse reaction(s) during the course of one treatment)
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals)
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals, including isolated reports).
