Description

Penicillin G is an effective bactericide in the treatment of infections caused primarily by penicillin-sensitive organisms, such as Streptococcus equi and Erysipelothrix insidiosa, as well as the gram negative organism Pasteurella multocida.

Indictations

Penicillin G Procaine is indicated for the treatment of:

1. Cattle and sheep – bacterial pneumonia (shipping fever) caused by Pasteurella multocida.
2. Swine – erysipelas caused by Erysipelothrix insidiosa.
3. Horses – strangles caused by Streptococcus equi.

Directions for Use

Restricted Drug (California) – Use Only as Directed.

The suspension should be administered by deep intramuscular injection within the fleshy muscles of the hip, rump, round or thigh, or into the neck, changing the site for each injection. Do not inject subcutaneously, into a blood vessel, or near a major nerve.

Use a 16 or 18 gauge needle, 1.5 inches long. The needle and syringe should be washed thoroughly before use. The needle and syringe should then be sterilized by placing in boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes.

Daily treatment should be continued for at least 48 hours after temperature has returned to normal and all other signs of infection have subsided. Animals treated with Penicillin G Procaine Injectable Suspension should show noticeable improvement within 36 to 48 hours.

Dosage

The dosage for cattle, sheep, swine, and horses is 3000 units per pound of body weight, or 1.0 mL for each 100 pounds of body weight, once daily. Treatment should not exceed 7 days in non-lactating dairy and beef cattle, sheep, and swine, or 5 days in lactating dairy cattle. If no improvement is observed within 48 hours, consult your veterinarian.
