Injections should not be given by routes other than those recommended. Not to be administered
intraperitoneally.
Adequate drinking water should be available during the therapeutic effect of the product.
Do not administer to animals with known sulphonamide sensitivity, severe liver parenchymal damage, or blood dyscrasias. As with all Trimethoprim/Sulphonamide formulations the possibility of potential damage to the kidney or liver or haemapoeitic system should be considered.
Do not administer to horses exhibiting drug-induced cardiac arrhythmias. Such arrhythmias may be associated with the administration of certain anaesthetic and sedative agents. The intravenous route is contraindicated in the case of concurrent or previous administration of central nervous system depressants (e.g. anaesthetics, neuroleptics).
Anaphylactic shock has been observed on rare occasions following administration of potentiated sulphonamide preparations, mostly after intravenous injection. For intravenous administration the product should be warmed to body temperature and injected slowly over as long a period as is reasonably practical. At the first sign of intolerance the injection should be interrupted and shock treatment initiated.
The possibility of anaphylaxis should be considered and the intravenous route in the horse should only be used if therapeutically justified.
