Baycox 2.5% Oral Solution
Dosage and administration
Administration: via the drinking water
Baycox is mixed in the drinking water before use. Gentle mixing is required. Proportioning systems may be used (see Pharmaceutical Precautions).
The recommended dose rate is 7 mg toltrazuril per kg bodyweight per day given for 2 consecutive days. This corresponds to:
28 ml Baycox 2.5% Solution (equivalent to 700 mg toltrazuril) per 100 kg of bodyweight per day for 2 consecutive days.
To calculate the volume of Baycox required to be added to the water supply over one day.
Total liveweight in kg x 0.28 = ml Baycox required for one day
As a guide for usage this is normally equivalent to 25 ppm (equivalent to 1 ml Baycox 2.5% Solution) per litre of drinking water for continuous medication over 48 hours, or to 75 ppm (equivalent to 3 ml Baycox 2.5% Solution) per litre of drinking water given for 8 hours per day, on 2 consecutive days.
