Kloxerate Plus DC (Dry Cow)
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Withdrawal periods
Do not use in cows with a short dry period. Not intended for use within 49 days of calving.
Milk for human consumption may only be taken from 156 hours after calving. Should a cow calve earlier than 49 days after the last treatment, milk for human consumption may only be taken from 49 days plus 156 hours after the last treatment. Should a cow calve earlier than 49 days after treatment consult your veterinary surgeon.
In cows suffering from hypocalcaemia it may be necessary to withhold milk for a longer period than that stated above. In such cases, milk should be withheld until levels of antibiotics are below the maximum accepted residue levels, i.e. 0.03 mcg/ml for cloxacillin and 0.004 mcg/ml for ampicillin.
Animals must not be slaughtered for human consumption during treatment. Cattle may be slaughtered for human consumption only after 28 days from the last treatment. The product must not be used in the treatment of lactating cows. Should this occur milk should be discarded for 28 days, following which time milk should be treated until antibiotic can no longer be detected.
Operator warnings
Protective gloves should always be worn when infusing heifers, to avoid skin contact with the product. Penicillins and cephalosporins may cause hypersensitivity (allergy) following injection, inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. Hypersensitivity to penicillins may lead to cross-reactions to cephalosporins and vice versa. Allergic reactions to these substances may occasionally be serious.
(1) Do not handle this product if you know you are sensitised, or if you have been advised not to work with such preparations.
(2) Handle this product with great care to avoid exposure, taking all recommended precautions.
(3) If you develop symptoms following exposure such as a skin rash, you should seek medical advice and show the doctor this warning. Swelling of the face, lips or eyes or difficulty with breathing are more serious symptoms and require urgent medical attention.
Wash hands after use.
