Forceris
ATC code
Species
Pigs (piglets 24 to 96 hours after birth)
Indications
For the concomitant prevention of iron deficiency anaemia and prevention of clinical signs of coccidiosis (diarrhoea) as well as reduction in oocyst excretion, in piglets in farms with a confirmed history of coccidiosis caused by Cystoisospora suis.
Dose to be administered and administration route
Intramuscular use.
Shake well (for 20 seconds) before use.
The recommended dose is 45 mg of toltrazuril and 200 mg of iron per piglet, that is, 1.5 ml of Forceris suspension per piglet, to be administered once, in a single intramuscular injection behind the ear, between 24 and 96 hours after birth.
For the 100 ml vials, the rubber stopper may be punctured up to 30 times. For the 250 ml and 500 ml vials, the rubber stopper may be punctured up to 20 times. If more injections than that are needed, the use of a multiple-dose syringe is recommended.
Adverse reactions
Deaths have been reported very rarely in piglets following the administration of parenteral iron injections. These deaths have been associated with genetic factors or deficiencies of vitamin E and/or selenium.
Piglet deaths have been reported which have been attributed to an increased susceptibility to infection due to temporary blocking of the reticuloendothelial system.
Hypersensitivity reactions can occur.
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).
