Directions for Use
Reconstitution
1 mg vial. Reconstitute by adding 20 ml Water for Injection.
4 mg vial. Reconstitute by adding 80 ml Water for Injection.
For ease of reconstitution use an 18 gauge needle. Rapid addition of diluent will mgive best results.
Dosage: Cattle
1 mg/kg bodyweight. This is equivalent to 1 ml of the reconstituted solution per 50 kg bodyweight. For respiratory disease, the dose should be given once daily at 24 hour intervals for 3 to 5 days in total. For foul in the foot, the dose should be given once daily at 24 hour intervals for 3 days in total.
Pigs
3 mg/kg bodyweight. This is equivalent to 1 ml of the reconstituted solution per 16 kg bodyweight. The dose should be given once daily at 24 hour intervals for 3 days in total.
If no response is seen within these periods, the diagnosis should be redetermined.
Horses
2 mg/kg bodyweight. This is equivalent to 2 ml of the reconstituted solution per 50 kg bodyweight. The dose should be given once daily at 24 hour intervals and continued for 48 hours after clinical signs have disappeared. A 10 day treatment period is usually adequate. A maximum of 10 ml solution should be administered per injection site. If no response is seen within 4?5 days, the diagnosis should be redetermined.
Administration
The intramuscular route only should be used in cattle, pigs and horses. In the pig, particular care must be taken to avoid injection into fat tissue. Normal aseptic injection techniques should be practiced.

Q & A
- Q. Can this be used on rabbits
- A.
It isn't licensed for use in rabbits, so your vet would have to make the decision to use it "on the cascade".
He/she would also have to take into account the fact that, although it is a very useful antibiotic, there is also a reported risk of antibiotic associated diarrhoea, which can be very dangerous in rabbits.
Overal, he/she would have to decide whether the benefits outweight the risks in that specific case, before they wrote a prescription to allow us to dispense.
