SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 NAME OF THE VETERINARY MEDICINAL PRODUCT HIDROCOL, 4000000 IU/ml solution for use in drinking water/milk 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each ml contains: Active substance: Colistin (as sulfate) 4000000 IU Excipients: Benzyl alcohol (E1519) 0.010 ml For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Solution for use in drinking water/milk A brown –orange solution 4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 TARGET SPECIES Cattle (calves), sheep (lambs), pigs, chickens and turkeys. 4.2 INDICATIONS FOR USE, SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES Cattle (calves), sheep (lambs), pigs, chickens and turkeys: Treatment and metaphylaxis of enteric infections caused by non-invasive _E.
