SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 NAME OF THE VETERINARY MEDICINAL PRODUCT Sogecoli 2 000 000 IU/ml concentrate for oral solution for calves, lambs, pigs, chickens and turkeys 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION ONE ML CONTAINS : ACTIVE SUBSTANCE: Colistin (as sulphate)........................................ 2000 000 IU EXCIPIENTS: Benzyl alcohol (E1519)…………………………0.01 ml For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Concentrate for oral solution. Clear, yellowish to 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 Calves - lambs – pigs - chickens – turkeys .: Treatment and metaphylaxis of gastrointestinal infections caused by non-invasive_ E. coli_ susceptible to colistin. The presence of the disease in the herd should be established before metaphylactic treatment. 4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS Do not use in case of known hypersensitivity to polypeptide antibiotics or to any of the excipients. Do not use in case of resistance to polymyxins. Do not use in horses, particularly in foals, since colistin, due to a shift in the gastrointestinal microflora balance could lead to the development of antimicrobial associated colitis (Colitis X), typically associated with_ Clostridium difficile_, which may be fatal. 4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES Colistin exerts concentration-dependent activity against Gram-negative bacteria. Following oral administration high concentrations are achieved in the gastrointestinal tract, i.e. the target site, due to the poor absorption of the substance. These factors indicate that a longer duration of treatment than the one indicated in section 4.9, leading to unnecessary exposure, is not recommended.
