Pigs (piglets)
Indications
For the prevention of iron deficiency anaemia in piglets.
Dose to be administered and administration route
Intramuscular use.
The product is administered as a single 1 ml (200 mg iron) dose by deep intramuscular injection.
Inject once between the 1st and the 3rd day of life.
The use of a multidose syringe is recommended. To refill the syringe use a draw-off needle to avoid excessive broaching of the stopper. The stopper must not be broached more than 10 times. When treating groups of animals in one run, use a draw-off needle that has been placed in the vial stopper to avoid excess broaching of the stopper. The draw-off needle has to be removed after treatment.
Adverse reactions
Occasionally discolouration of the tissue and/or slight, soft swelling may be observed at the site of injection. This should disappear within a few days. Hypersensitivity reactions can occur. Deaths in piglets following the administration of parenteral iron dextran preparations associated with genetic factors or deficiency of vitamin E and/or selenium have been reported rarely.
Deaths in piglets which have been attributed to an increased susceptibility to infection due to temporary blocking of the reticuloendothelial system, have been reported very rarely.
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)
