Composition

Each ml contains 300 mg florfenicol.

Pharmacological properties

Florfenicol is a synthetic antibacterial belonging to the phenicol group.

Florfenicol is a broad-spectrum antibacterial active against many gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria isolated from domestic animals.

Indications for use

In bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in cattle caused by Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida and Haemophilus somnus (Histophilus somni),
In bacterial foot diseases such as interdigital phlegmon (foot rot, acute interdigital necrobacillosis, infectious pododermatitis) caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum and Bacteroides melaninogenicus,
In the treatment of infectious keratoconjunctivitis (pink eye) caused by Moraxella bovis.

Route of administration and dosage

Administered by the IM and SC routes in all target species.

1 ml by the IM (intramuscular) route per 15 kg body weight, as two injections 48 hours apart,
2 ml by the SC (subcutaneous) route per 15 kg body weight as a single dose.

Injections must be given only in the neck area. No more than 10 ml should be administered at any one injection site.

Undesirable effects

A decrease in food intake and temporary softening of the feces may be observed during treatment. However, these signs resolve rapidly and completely after the end of treatment.

Temporary local pain and clinically apparent swelling may be observed at the injection site after intramuscular or subcutaneous administration. Anaphylactic shock has very rarely been reported in cattle.

Drug interactions

Florfenicol may interact with other antibiotics that bind to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, such as erythromycin, clindamycin, lincomycin, tylosin and similar agents; concomitant use with these drugs is therefore not recommended.

Withdrawal period

Meat: 30 days after IM (intramuscular) use, 44 days after SC (subcutaneous) use.

Do not use in lactating cows producing milk for human consumption.

Contraindications

Do not use in adult bulls intended for breeding.

Use during pregnancy and lactation

Use in pregnant animals is not recommended.

Storage conditions
