Dosage and administration
Subcutaneous use.
40 mg of florfenicol per kg bodyweight and 2.2 mg of flunixin per kg bodyweight (equivalent to 2 mL of product per 15 kg body weight) to be administered by a single subcutaneous injection.
The dose volume given at any one injection site should not exceed 10mL.
The cap may be safely punctured up to 25 times. When treating groups of animals in one run, use a draw-off needle that has been placed in the vial stopper to avoid excess broaching of the stopper. The draw-off needle should be removed after treatment.
It is recommended to treat animals in the early stages of the disease and to evaluate the response to treatment 48 hours after injection. The anti-inflammatory component of this veterinary product, flunixin, may mask resistance to florfenicol in the first 24 hours after injection. If clinical signs of respiratory disease persist or increase, or if relapse occurs, treatment should be changed, using another antibiotic, and continued until clinical signs have resolved.
The injection should only be given in the neck.
Swab septum before removing each dose. Use a dry sterile needle and syringe.
To ensure a correct dosage body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid under-dosing.
