Intended For: Swine, Dairy Cattle, and Beef Cattle Pet Weight: All Includes: 100ml, 250ml, 500ml Health Considerations: Because bacteriostatic medications can interfere with penicillin's bactericidal action, do not give Noromycin 300 LA to any animal being treated with penicillin. In case of a superinfection, withdraw treatment and seek proper treatment. Any antibiotic, including this medication, can cause non-susceptible fungi or organism overgrowth. If new symptoms or signs develop or if the desired response is not achieved with treatment, this overgrowth may be the cause. Immediately following injection, a treated animal may experience short-term hemoglobinuria and associated dark urine. If any signs of an adverse reaction are observed, withdraw use and seek veterinary attention. Certain reactions may be caused by allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) or cardiovascular collapse with unknown causes. Speak to your veterinarian before starting treatment to determine the correct treatment to administer in case an adverse reaction occurs. Exceeding a volume of 10mL in a subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of adult dairy or beef cattle, administering more than the prescribed number of treatments, exceeding the maximum recommended dose (based on pounds per day), or exceeding 5mL in an intramuscular injection of adult swine can lead to antibiotic residue in periods greater than the typical withdrawal periods. Oxytetracycline must be slowly administered intravenously over a minimum five-minute period. Administering rapidly (intravenously) can cause the animal to collapse. Do not use in a lactating dairy animal. Withdraw use a minimum of 28 days before swine or cattle slaughter. Do not use in humans. Only for use in livestock. Follow the withdrawal periods specified on the product label. Ingredients: Oxytetracycline 300 mg ml Use: Features of Noromycin 300 LA Injectable: Economical Formula is well-tolerated, especially when it is subcutaneously administered in the neck region Proven to be effective against a vast range of diseases, working to treat Escherichia coli-related scours, acute metritis, leptospirosis, wooden tongue, foot rot, wounds, pink eye, shipping fever, and pneumonia Directions: Use as directed by your Veterinarian. Dosage and Administration : Beef cattle, non-lactating dairy cattle, calves, including pre-ruminating (veal) calves: A single dosage of 9 mg of oxytetracycline per pound of bodyweight administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously is recommended in the treatment of the following conditions: (1) Bacterial pneumonia caused by Pasteurella spp (shipping fever) in calves and yearlings where retreatment is impractical due to husbandry conditions, such as cattle on range, or where their repeated restraint is inadvisable. (2) Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (pink eye) caused by Moraxella bovis. For other indications NOROMYCIN 300 LA is to be administered intramuscularly, subcutaneously or intravenously at a level of 3 to 5 mg of oxytetracycline per pound of bodyweight per day. In treatment of foot-rot and advanced cases of other indicated diseases, a dosage level of 5 mg per pound of bodyweight per day is recommended. Treatment should be continued 24 to 48 hours following remission of disease signs, however, not to exceed a total of four (4) consecutive days. If improvement is not noted within 24 to 48 hours of the beginning of treatment, diagnosis and therapy should be re-evaluated by a veterinarian. Do not administer intramuscularly in the neck of small calves due to lack of sufficient muscle mass. Use extreme care when administering this product by intravenous injection. Perivascular injection or leakage from an intravenous injection may cause severe swelling at the injection site. Swine: A single dosage of 9 mg of oxytetracycline per pound of bodyweight administered intramuscularly is recommended in the treatment of bacterial pneumonia caused by Pasteurella multocida in swine, where retreatment is impractical due to husbandry conditions or where repeated restraint is inadvisable. NOROMYCIN 300 LA can also be administered by intramuscular injection at a level of 3 to 5 mg of oxytetracycline per pound of bodyweight per day. Treatment should be continued 24 to 48 hours following remission of disease signs; however, not to exceed a total of four (4) consecutive days. If improvement is not noted within 24 to 48 hours of the beginning of treatment, diagnosis and therapy should be re-evaluated by a veterinarian. For sows, administer once intramuscularly 3 mg of oxytetracycline per pound of bodyweight approximately eight (8) hours before farrowing or immediately after completion of farrowing as an aid in the control of infectious enteritis in baby pigs. For swine weighing 25 lbs of bodyweight and under, NOROMYCIN 300 LA should be administered undiluted for treatment at 9 mg lb but should be administered diluted for treatment at 3 or 5 mg lb. Directions For Use : NOROMYCIN 300 LA is intended for use in the treatment of disease due to oxytetracycline-susceptible organisms in beef cattle, non-lactating dairy cattle and swine. A thoroughly cleaned, sterile needle and syringe should be used for each injection (needles and syringes may be sterilised by boiling in water for 15 minutes). In cold weather NOROMYCIN 300 LA should be warmed to room temperature before administration to animals. Before withdrawing the solution from the bottle, disinfect the rubber cap on the bottle with suitable disinfectant, such as 70 percent alcohol. The injection site should be similarly cleaned with the disinfectant. Needles of 16 to 18 gauge and 1 to 1 1 2 inches long are adequate for intramuscular or subcutaneous injections. Needles of 2 to 3 inches in length are recommended for intravenous use. INTRAMUSCULAR ADMINISTRATION: Intramuscular injections should be made by directing the needle of suitable gauge and length into the fleshy part of a thick muscle such as in the neck, rump, hip, or thigh regions; avoid blood vessels and major nerves. Before injecting the solution, pull back gently on the plunger. If blood appears in the syringe, a blood vessel has been entered; withdraw the needle and select a different site. No more than 10 mL should be injected intramuscularly at any one site in adult beef cattle and non-lactating dairy cattle, and not more than 5 mL per site in adult swine; rotate injection sites for each succeeding treatment. The volume administered per injection site should be reduced according to age and body size so that 1 to 2 mL per site is injected in small calves. SUBCUTANEOUS ADMINISTRATION: Subcutaneous injections should be made by directing the needle of suitable gauge and length through the loose folds of the neck skin in front of the shoulder. Care should be taken to ensure that the tip of the needle has penetrated the skin but is not lodged in the muscle. Before injecting the solution, pull back gently on the plunger. If blood appears in the syringe, a blood vessel has been entered; withdraw the needle and select a different site. The solution should be injected slowly into the area between the skin and muscles. No more than 10 mL should be injected subcutaneously at any one site in adult beef cattle and non-lactatinView details
