Terra-Vet® 200 (oxytetracycline injection) is a sterile, ready-to-use
solution for the
administration of the broad-spectrum antibiotic oxytetracycline by
injection.
Terra-Vet® 200 administered to cattle or swine for the treatment of
bacterial pneumonia
at a dosage of 9 mg of oxytetracycline per lb of body weight has been
demonstrated in
clinical trials to be as effective as 2 or 3 repeated, daily
treatments of oxytetracycline
injectable at 3-5 mg/lb of body weight.
Terra-Vet® 200 does not require refrigeration; however, it is
recommended that it be
stored at room temperature, 15º-25ºC (59º-77ºF). The antibiotic
activity of
oxytetracycline is not appreciably diminished in the presence of body
fluids, serum, or
exudates.
CAUTION: When administered to cattle, muscle discoloration may
necessitate trimming
of the injection site(s) and surrounding tissues during the dressing
procedure.
WARNINGS: Discontinue treatment at least 28 days prior to slaughter of
cattle and
swine. Milk taken from animals during treatment and for 96 hours after
the last
treatment must not be used for food. Rapid intravenous administration
may result in
animal collapse. Oxytetracycline should be administered intravenously
slowly over a
period of at least 5 minutes.
PRECAUTIONS: Exceeding the highest recommended dosage level of drug
per lb of
body weight per day, administering more than the recommended number of
treatments,
