Contra-indications, warnings, etc

Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients.
Where there is a risk of summer mastitis, additional management procedures, such as fly control should be considered.
Special precautions for use in animals
Use of the product should be based on susceptibility testing of the bacteria isolated from the animal. If this is not possible, therapy should be based on local (regional, farm level) epidemiological information about susceptibility of the target bacteria. Official and local antimicrobial policies should be taken into account when the product is used.
Serious acute mastitis [potentially lethal] due to pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, can occur after drying off despite preventive treatment. Good aseptic practices should be thoroughly respected in order to reduce that risk; cows should be housed in a hygienic paddock far from the milking parlour and regularly checked several days after drying off.
Do not use during lactation. Can be used during pregnancy.
