INDICATIONS

• Cattle: For shipping fever complex, bacterial pneumonia, necrotic pododermatitis (foot rot), calf diphtheria, acute metritis and mastitis.
• Swine (Pigs): For porcine colibacillosis (bacterial scours) and bacterial pneumonia.
• Dogs and Cats: Extra-label for systemic infections, bladder and prostate infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and pneumonia.
• Horses: For infections caused by susceptible gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
• Chickens and Turkeys: For control and treatment of bacterial pneumonia. 

ADMINISTRATION

• Intramuscular (IM) Injection: This is the most common route for most livestock and pets.
  • In animals like cattle, pigs, and sheep, the injection is given deep into the muscle.
  • For smaller animals or exotic pets, it may also be given subcutaneously, though IM is preferred for better absorption.
• Intravenous (IV) Injection: Used primarily for acute or life-threatening infections where a rapid effect is required.
  • It must be administered slowly to avoid adverse reactions.
  • In horses, IV administration requires the fluid to be at approximately 37°C and the animal should not be sedated. 

Dosage and Protocol

• Standard Dosage: The typical dose is 1 ml per 10–15 kg
• Duration: Treatment usually lasts for 3 to 5 consecutive days.
• Divided Doses: For certain species or severe cases, the daily dose may be divided into two equal treatments (every 12 hours).
• Site Alternation: When performing multiple intramuscular injections, it is recommended to alternate the injection sites.
• Hydration: Always ensure the animal has free access to water to prevent the formation of sulfonamide crystals in the kidneys.
