Before use shake the bottle for a minute or until the product appears adequately resuspended.

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. When treating groups of animals, use a draw-off needle.

The rubber stopper of the 100 ml vial may be safely punctured up to 25 times.
