All treatments to be given by intramuscular injection. Studies have indicated the advisability of giving second and subsequent injections at a different injection site. The preferred injection site is in muscular tissue of the mid-neck region.
To ensure correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing.
Shake the vial well before using.
The veterinary medicinal product does not contain an antimicrobial preservative. Swab the septum before removing each dose. Use a dry sterile needle and syringe. An appropriately graduated syringe must be used to allow accurate administration of the required dose volume. This is particularly important when injecting small volumes, for example when treating piglets.
The cap may be safely punctured up to 25 times. The 50ml vial should be used for treating small piglets. When treating groups of animals, use a draw-off needle.
