Composition |
Infections caused by penicillin G and/or DHS susceptible microorganisms such as respiratory tract infections (shipping fever, pasteurellosis, bronchopneumonia, pleuropneumonia, rhinitis, laryngitis), urogenital tract infections (p.e. Pyelonephritis, nephritis, endometritis), infections of skin and wounds, peritonitis, strangles in horses, mastitis, meningitis (p.e. by streptococci), erysipelas in pigs, otitis in dogs and cats, panaritium, clostridial infections, tetanus, anthrax, leptospirosis, actinomycosis in cattle, actinobacillosis in horses, polyarthritis (navel ill) and septicaemia. The drug also can be used in postoperative prevent |
Indications |
Do not administer to animals known to be hypersensitive to one of the components Renal insufficiency Do not use intravenously |
Contraindications |
Allergic reactions (anaphylactic shock, urticaria, oedema) may occur in animals hypersensitive towards penicillins, cephalosporins and dihydrostreptomycin. Acute side-effects reported after intramuscular use of procaine penicillin G probably may be attributed to the procaine moiety of the antibiotic (nervous stimulation in horses; shivering, vomiting, pyrexia and abortion in pigs) or to inadvertent intravascular injection (embolic shock, procaine toxicity). Massive doses of dihydrostreptomycin may cause neuromuscular block particularly after intra peritoneal or accidental I.V. injection Prolonged administration of high doses may lead to deafness, vestibulotoxic (ataxia, incoordination, nystagmus) and nephrotoxic signs If you notice any serious effects or other effects not mentioned in this leaflet |
