Not to be used in cows that are lactating.
Dosage & Administration
For intramammary use.
The contents of one syringe should be infused into the teat canal of each quarter immediately after the last milking of the lactation. Avoid contamination of the nozzle after removing the cap. Before infusion, thoroughly clean and disinfect the end of the teat with the cleaning towel provided.
Option 1: For short nozzle intramammary administration hold the barrel of the syringe and the base of the cap in one hand and twist off the small upper part of the cap above the indent mark (the base portion of the cap remains on the syringe). Take care not to contaminate the short exposed part of the nozzle.
Option 2: For full nozzle intramammary administration remove the cap fully by holding the barrel of the syringe firmly in one hand and with the thumb push up and along the length of the cap until the cap clicks off. Take care not to contaminate the nozzle.
Insert the nozzle into the teat canal and apply steady pressure on the syringe plunger until the full dose has been delivered. Holding the end of the teat with one hand, gently massage upwards with the other to aid dispersion of the antibiotic into the quarter.
After infusion it is advisable to dip the teats in an antiseptic preparation specifically designed for this purpose.
