SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 NAME OF THE VETERINARY MEDICINAL PRODUCT Propen 300 mg/ml Suspension for Injection for Cattle, Sheep and Pigs. 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each ml contains: ACTIVE SUBSTANCE Benzylpenicillin Procaine 300 mg EXCIPIENT (PRESERVATIVE) Methyl Parahydroxybenzoate (E218) 1 mg For a full list of excipients, see section 6.1 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Suspension for injection. A white to off-white suspension. 4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 TARGET SPECIES Cattle, sheep and pigs. 4.2 INDICATIONS FOR USE, SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES For the treatment of infections caused by bacteria sensitive to penicillins in cattle, sheep and pigs. 4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS Do not administer to animals known to be sensitive to penicillin. Do not use when it is known that penicillinase-producing staphylococcus organisms are present. 4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES Occasionally in sucking and fattening pigs administration of products containing procaine penicillin may cause a transient pyrexia, vomiting, shivering, listlessness and incordination. Procaine penicillin G can, under certain circumstances, be toxic and even lethal to pigs and this is thought to be due to a sudden release of toxic amounts of free procaine. The symptoms include shivering, lassitude, inappetence, vomiting, cyanosis of the extemities and pronounced pyrexia (40ºC and over). A vulval discharge may appear and some animals may abort. Alarming side-effects are most likely to occur when pigs with erysipelas are injected with an older and, or, heat-affected procaine penicillin formulation. Treatment with 5 mg dexamethasone will result in rapid recovery.
