Lectade Plus
Dosage and administration
Lectade Plus is for oral administration only.
Prepare a fresh solution before each dose by adding the contents of each paired sachet (A and B) to 2 litres (3½ pints) of warm water at a temperature of about 35°C.
Immediately signs of scour are seen, withdraw milk or milk replacer and feed 2 litres of solution, made up as directed, twice daily for 2 days (4 feeds). For the next 4 feeds use 1 litre of Lectade Plus solution mixed with 1 litre of milk or milk replacer. Thereafter feed as normal. If scouring is established or severe, causing serious dehydration, the 2 litres of solution should be fed 3 or 4 times daily.
Duration of treatment: Lectade Plus may be used on its own for a maximum of 4 days.
Lectade Plus may be used on its own or in conjunction with oral antibiotics such as amoxicillin, ampicillin and oxytetracycline.
Always feed Sachet A and Sachet B together.
