• Dermatological Diseases: It can be used in various animal species for the local treatment of skin infections.
• Mastitis in Cows: It is approved as an intra-mammary infusion (injection into the udder) for the therapy and prophylaxis of mastitis.
• Endometritis in Cattle and Horses: It is administered intrauterine (into the uterus) for the treatment of female reproductive system disorders. 

ADMINISTRATION

• Shake Well: Always shake the suspension bottle vigorously before drawing a dose to ensure the medication is evenly mixed.
• Measure Accurately: Use an oral syringe to measure the dose exactly.
• Administer Orally:
  • Position the pet in a comfortable, restrained position (e.g., sitting).
  • Place one hand over their mouth to gently steady their head.
  • Insert the tip of the syringe into the cheek pocket or the side of the mouth, not directly down the throat, to prevent choking.
  • Slowly depress the plunger to give the medication, allowing the pet time to swallow.
• Follow with Reward: Offer a treat or praise immediately after administration to create a positive association with the process.
• Dosing Schedule: Administer the medication, typically every 12 hours for a set number of days, depending on the animal’s condition.
