Side effects of Neopen 100 ml
Overdosage with neomycin parenterally can cause renal damage and deafness but this is unlikely at normal therapeutic dosage levels. Care should be taken in young animals, particularly puppies, kittens and piglets, to ensure accurate computation of the dose.
Courses of this product should be restricted to a period of three days.
Occasionally in sucking and fattening pigs, administration of this product may cause a transient pyrexia, vomiting, shivering, listlessness and incoordination.
Additionally in pregnant sows and gilts, a vulval discharge which could be associated with abortion has been reported. The balance of risks should be considered carefully prior to use.
Local reaction (swelling) may occur at the injection site in horses for up to a week after administration.
Doses exceeding 15 ml should be divided between two injection sites.
