Uses

For the prevention of infections of superficial traumatic or surgical wounds caused by micro-organisms sensitive to chlortetracycline. Cyclo spray® can also be used as part of a treatment for superficial claw/hoof infections, in particular interdigital dermatitis (foot rot) in sheep and digital dermatitis in cattle.

Dosage and administration

Cyclo Sray® is indicated for cutaneous administration. Shake the container thoroughly before spraying. The container should be held at a distance of 15-20 cm from the area to be sprayed; spray for approximately 3 seconds (equivalent to approximately 3.9 g of product or 0.10 g chlortetracycline) until the treatment area is evenly coloured.

In case of claw/hoof infections, this treatment should be repeated after 30 seconds.

•For prevention of infections after superficial traumatic or surgical wounds a single administration is recommended.

•For treatment of digital dermatitis, a double administration (with a 30 second interval) is recommended daily for 3 consecutive day

•For treatment of other hoof infections (foot rot), a double administration (with a 30 second interval) is recommended. Dependent on the severity of the injury and the rate of improvement, treatment should be repeated within 1 to 3 days.
