Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Do not use in pigs that are known to be hypersensitive to ceftiofur or other β-lactam antibiotics.
Occasionally, transient local swelling may occur following intramuscular injection. Mild tissue reactions at the injection site, such as small areas (less than 6 cm2) of discolouration and small cysts have been observed for up to 42 days after injection. Resolution has been observed at 56 days post-injection.
Withdrawal period:
Meat and offal: 71 days.
User warnings:
Penicillins and cephalosporins may cause hypersensitivity 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.
Do not handle this product if you know you are hypersensitive. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. In the event of contact, wash with clean water. If you develop symptoms following exposure such as a skin rash or persistent eye irritation, you should seek medical advice. Swelling of the face, lips or eyes or difficulty with breathing are more serious symptoms and require urgent medical attention.
