4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 TARGET SPECIES
Cattle (calves), sheep (lambs), pigs, chickens and turkeys.
4.2 INDICATIONS FOR USE, SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES
Treatment and metaphylaxis of enteric infections caused by
non-invasive E. _Coli_, susceptible to colistin.
In the case of metaphylaxis, the presence of the disease in the group
/ flock must be established before the product is used.
4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to colistin sulfate or to any
of the excipients.
Do not use in cases of resistance to polymyxins.
Do not use in horses, particularly in foals, since colistin sulfate,
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 sulfate 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.
As an adjunct to treatment, good management and hygiene practices
should be introduced in order to reduce the risk of
infection and to control the potential build up of resistance.
There is cross-resistance between colistin sulf
