- DO NOT INJECT INTRAVENOUSLY.

- Although this remedy
has been extensively tested under a large variety of conditions, failure thereof
may ensue as a result of a wide range of reasons. If this is suspected, seek
veterinary advice and notify the registration holder.
Directions for Use: Use only as directed
Inject once deep intramuscularly in the neck region at a dosage rate of 1 ml/10
kg of live body mass of cattle, sheep, goats and pigs, thus providing 20 mg
REVERIN L.A. per kg live body mass.
Subcutaneous administration
will give the same effect as the intramuscular route but swelling at the injection
site could occur. However, in very young pigs under 10 kg body mass, the subcutaneous
injection route of administration is preferred.
Normally a single treatment
of 1 ml/10 kg body mass will be sufficient for the treatment of susceptible
disease conditions. Re-treatment 72 hours following the initial injection may
be given if necessary. Temporary localised swelling at the injection site may
be observed.
Dosage
- Cattle: 1 ml/10 kg body
mass. Intramuscular injection should be made deep into the fleshy part of
the muscle in the neck region.
To minimise local tissue irritation, no more than 10 ml should be injected
at any one site.
- Pigs: In pigs weighing
up to 10 kg, administer 1 ml subcutaneously behind the ear. In pigs weighing
in excess of 10 kg, administer 1 ml/10 kg body mass by deep intramuscular
injection in the neck below the ear at one site. In pigs over 100 kg it is
recommended that the dose be divided and administered into two injection sites.
N.B. Do not administer more than 0,5 ml to piglets of less than 2 kg body
mass.
- Sheep and goats: Administer
1 ml /10 kg body mass by deep intramuscular injection at one site in the neck
region. In sheep and goats over 50 kg, it is recommended that the dose be
divided and administered into two injection sites.
N.B. For rapid recovery, a prompt and accurate diagnosis is essential. It
is, therefore, always advisable to consult your veterinarian for a correct
diagnosis.
Storage
Store in a cool place below 25 °C.

200 mg Oxytetracycline per ml.
