Terápiás javallatok:

A great many of the pathogens involved in cattle diseases are known to be susceptible to oxytetracycline hydrochloride therapy. Many strains of organisms, however, have shown resistance to oxytetracycline. In the case of certain coliforms, streptococci and staphylococci, it may be advisable to conduct culture and sensitivity testing to determine susceptibility of the infecting organism to oxytetracycline. In this manner, the likelihood of successful treatment with Vetrimycin™ 100 solution can be determined in advance.

INJECTION
ANADA 200-452, Approved by FDA
DESCRIPTION
Vetrimycin™ 100 [oxytetracycline hydrochloride] is a sterile
ready-to-use preparation containing 100
mg/mL oxytetracycline HCl, for administration of the broad spectrum
antibiotic, oxytetracycline, by
injection.
ANTIBIOTIC ACTION OF OXYTETRACYCLINE
Oxytetracycline is effective against a wide range of gram-negative and
gram-positive organisms that are
pathogenic for cattle. The antibiotic is primarily bacteriostatic in
effect, and is believed to exert its
antimicrobial action by the inhibition of microbial protein synthesis.
The antibiotic activity of
oxytetracycline is not appreciably diminished in the presence of body
fluids, serum or exudates. Since
the drugs in the tetracycline class have similar antimicrobial
spectra, organisms can develop cross
resistance among them. Oxytetracycline is concentrated by the liver in
the bile and excreted in the urine
and feces at high concentrations and in a biologically active form.
WARNING
Discontinue treatment with Vetrimycin™ 100 at least 22 days prior to
slaughter of the animal. Not for
use in lactating dairy animals. A withdrawal period has not been
established for this product in pre-
ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal.
CAUTION
Rapid intravenous administration may result in animal collapse.
Oxytetracycline should be administered
intravenously slowly over a period of at least 5 minutes.
If no improvement occurs within 24 to 48 hours, consult a
veterinarian. Do not use the drug for more
than 4 consecutive days. Use beyond 4 days or doses higher than
maximum recommended dose may
result in antibiotic tissue residues beyond the withdrawal period.
PRECAUTIONS
The improper or accidental injection of the drug outside of the vein
will cause local tissue irritation
manifested by temporary swelling and discoloration at the injection
site.
