Ubropen
ATC code
Species
Cattle (lactating cow).
Indications
Treatment of clinical mastitis caused by penicillin susceptible streptococci or staphylococci occurring during the lactation phase.
Dose to be administered and administration route
Intramammary use.
Infuse the contents of one intramammary syringe (equivalent to 600 mg benzylpenicillin procaine monohydrate) per affected udder quarter once daily after milking. The treatment is continued for 3-5 days.
Parenteral therapy may also be required depending upon the clinical presentation.
Clean and disinfect the end of the teat and teat orifice thoroughly before applying the product. Remove the cover of the tip and infuse the product gently into the teat. The intramammary syringe has a double tip. It is recommended to remove only the outer cover, revealing a tip about 5 mm long. Using the shorter tip reduces the mechanical irritation of the teat canal when the veterinary medicinal product is applied (partial insertion). If the inner cover is removed as well, a tip of about 20 mm is revealed. This can be used only exceptionally to facilitate infusion, for instance to a teat with pronounced oedema (full insertion). The partial insertion technique is preferred, whenever achievable. After infusion, the quarter is massaged so that the drug is evenly distributed.
Adverse reactions
Hypersensitive reactions to penicillin or procaine have been reported very rarely on post marketing safety experience and may include symptoms like oedema, dermatological changes such as urticaria, angio-oedema or erythema and anaphylactic shock.
In case adverse reactions occur, the current treatment should be withdrawn and symptomatic treatment should be initiated.
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).
