Active Ingredient
Bovilis BTV8 (20 ml) ingredients

Side Effects
Side effects of Bovilis BTV8 (20 ml)
Vaccinate healthy animals only.
The safety of use of the veterinary medicinal product in pregnant or lactating animals has not yet been established.
Immunisation may result in a slight rise in temperature (up to about 1?C) for up to three days after vaccination and a temporary swelling at the injection site. In sheep these swellings typically last for up to three weeks while in cattle small palpable swellings may still be present up to six weeks after vaccination in approximately one third of vaccinates.
Following administration of an overdose in sheep, swellings may still be palpable for at least six weeks.
This vaccine has been tested for safety in sheep and cattle. If used in other ruminant species that are considered at risk of infection, its use in these species should be undertaken with care and it is advisable to test the vaccine on a small number of animals prior to mass vaccination. The level of efficacy for other species may differ from that observed in sheep and cattle.
No information is available on the use of the vaccine in seropositive animals including those with maternally derived antibodies.
Interactions
No information is available on the compatibility of this vaccine with any other. Therefore the safety and efficacy of this product when used with any other (either when used on the same day or at different times) has not been demonstrated.
Do not mix with any other medicinal product.
