Dosage & Administration

Horses: for intravenous, intramuscular, intra-articular intrabursal or local administration.

Cattle, pigs, dogs and cats: For intramuscular injection.

For the treatment of inflammatory or allergic conditions the following average doses are advised. However the actual dose used should be determined by the severity of the signs and the length of time for which they have been present:

Horses, cattle and pigs: 0.06 mg/kg body weight corresponding to 1.5 ml/50 kg

Dogs and cats: 0.1 mg/kg body weight corresponding to 0.5 ml/10 kg

For the treatment of primary ketosis in cattle (acetonaemia):

0.02-0.04 mg/kg body weight corresponding to 5-10 ml per cow given by intramuscular injection is advocated dependent on the size of the cow and the duration of the signs. Care should be taken not to overdose Channel Island breeds. Larger doses will be required if the signs have been present for some time or if relapsed animals are being treated.

For the induction of parturition:

0.04 mg/kg body weight corresponding to 10 ml per cow as a single intramuscular injection after day 270 of pregnancy.

Parturition will normally occur within 48-72 hours.

For the treatment of arthritis, bursitis or tenosynovitis: by single intra-articular, intrabursal or local injection in the horse: Dosage 1-5 ml.

These quantities are not specific and are quoted purely as a guide. Injections into joint spaces or bursae should be preceded by the removal of an equivalent volume of synovial fluid. Strict asepsis is essential.

To measure small volumes of less than 1 ml a suitably graduated syringe should be used to ensure accurate administration of the correct dose.

Pig: meat and offal: 2 days.

Not authorised for use in horses producing milk for human consumption.
