Dose to be administered and administration route

Administration is by the intramuscular route for cattle, sheep and pigs and by the intramuscular or subcutaneous route in dogs and cats.

The dosage rate is 7mg/kg bodyweight daily for up to 5 days (equivalent to 0.25ml per 5kg daily). Massage the injection site after injection.

Animal	Weight (kg)	Dose volume (ml)
Cattle	450	20.0
Sheep	65	3.0
Pigs	150	7.0
Dogs	20	1.0
Cats	5	0.25

Normal aseptic precautions should be observed. A separate injection site should be used for each administration.

If dose volume exceeds 20ml in cattle or 10ml in sheep and pigs, it should be divided and injected into two sites.

An appropriately graduated syringe must be used to allow accurate administration of the required dose volume. This is particularly important when injecting small volumes.

Adverse reactions

Occasional local tissue reaction may result from use of this product.

Penicillins and cephalosporins may cause hypersensitivity (allergy, allergic skin reactions) after use. Allergic reactions may occasionally be serious (anaphylaxis).

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).
