SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
i. Special precautions for use in animals
When infusing heifers it is important that the syringe nozzle is not
introduced into the teat. The recommended procedure is as follows:
The animal(s) should be properly restrained. The teats are cleaned
and disinfected. The teat orifice is located and the nozzle of the
syringe
placed against it but NOT inserted. When the syringe plunger is
depressed the antibiotic passes easily through the teat into the
udder.
ii. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the
veterinary medicinal product to animals
Protective gloves should always be worn when infusing heifers, to
avoid skin contact with the product.
