Usage: Luer Lock Syringes with Needles should be used as directed by your veterinarian. Before removing the cap, ensure the needle is firmly attached to the syringe prior to use. Injectable medications require needles, syringes, and a designated sharps disposal container. These are not included with the medication and must be purchased separately. Please consult your veterinarian for guidance regarding appropriate needle and syringe sizes for your pet. Aseptic technique refers to a set of practices designed to minimize the risk of contamination and infection during medical procedures. These practices can also be applied to the handling and administration of injectable medications to your pet to help reduce the risk of post–injection bacterial infections. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after administration. Use a new, sterile needle and syringe for each injection. Needles and syringes should never be reused. Do not touch the needle, syringe tip, or vial stopper (once it has been wiped with alcohol) to any surface to avoid contamination. Adequately clean and disinfect the vial stopper with an alcohol wipe, then allow it to dry before inserting the sterile needle⁄syringe. Withdraw and administer the prescribed dose as directed by your veterinarian. Dispose of the needle⁄syringe immediately after use into a proper sharps disposal container.For general injectable use (aseptic technique):
Precautions: Inspect the needle and syringe before each use. Do NOT use the product if it appears compromised, tampered with, or otherwise unfit for use. Do NOT attempt to recap needles after use; dispose of the needle⁄syringe immediately into a designated sharps container. Do NOT attempt to sterilize or reuse needles and syringes. Please ensure your veterinarian is aware of all medications and supplements that your pet is currently receiving. Your veterinarian may prescribe multiple medications, even if a potential drug interaction may occur. In these instances, your veterinarian may adjust the dosages or monitor your pet more closely.

If your pet displays symptoms of an allergic reaction, discontinue therapy and call your veterinarian immediately or seek emergency veterinary attention.
