Side Effects
Side effects of Crystapen Injection (single)
Do not use in known cases of hypersensitivity to penicillins. Do not use in small mammals (eg. gerbils, rabbits).
Penicillins may cause hypersensitivity (allergy) following injection, inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. Hypersensitivity to penicillins may lead to cross reactions to cephalosporins and vice versa. Allergic reactions to these substances may occasionally be serious. Do not use in animals known to be sensitive to penicillin.
Adverse reactions include hypersensitivity in susceptible animals and diarrhoea.
The usual aseptic precautions should be followed when administering the product. Not for intrathecal administration.
Use of the product should be based on susceptibility testing of bacteria isolated from the animal. If this is not possible, therapy should be based on local (regional, farm level) epidemiological information about susceptibility of the target bacteria.
