Norfenicol Injection

Solution for Injection. A light yellow to straw coloured solution.

Cattle: Treatment of respiratory tract infections in clinically diseased cattle due to Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida and Histophilus somni, susceptible to Florfenicol. Swine: Treatment of acute outbreaks of respiratory disease caused by strains of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Pasteurella multocida susceptible to Florfenicol.

To ensure correct dosage body weight should be determined as accurately as possible. Swab septum before removing each dose. Use a dry sterile needle and syringe. Do not broach the vial more than 25 times. Cattle: Intramuscular Injection: 20 mg/kg bodyweight (1 ml/15 kg) to be administered twice 48 hours apart using a 16-gauge needle. Subcutaneous Injection: 40 mg/kg bodyweight (2 ml/15 kg) to be administered once only using a 16-gauge needle. The dose volume given at any one injection site should not exceed 10 ml. The injection should only be given in the neck. Pigs: Intramuscular Injection: 15 mg/kg bodyweight (1 ml per 20 kg) into the neck muscle twice at 48 hour intervals using a 16-gauge needle. The volume administered per injection site should not exceed 3 ml. It is recommended to treat cattle and swine in the early stages of disease and to evaluate the response to treatment within 48 hours after the second injection. If clinical signs of respiratory disease persist 48 hours after the last injection, treatment should be changed using another formulation or another antibiotic and continued until clinical signs have resolved.
