Indications
Infections caused by micro-organisms sensitive to benzylpenicillin in horse.
Dose to be administered and administration route
To prepare a ready-to-use solution, mix 17 ml of water for injection with 6.36 g benzylpenicillin sodium. This provides 21 ml of solution for injection with the concentration of 300 mg/ml. Sterile water is not included in the package, but any water for injection normally used in veterinary practice can be utilised as a solvent. Inject the solvent into the vial using a sterile needle of appropriate size.
Shake the vial to mix the powder with water. Once the solution turns clear, it is ready for use.
10-20 mg/kg body weight intravenously (slowly), equivalent of 3.3 – 6.7 ml/100 kg body weight, 2 times a day. The treatment should last a minimum of 4 days.
To ensure the correct dosage, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing.
Adverse reactions
Allergic hypersensitivity reactions and gastrointestinal disorders can occur.
