Cautions and Warnings:

When administered to cattle, muscle discoloration may necessitate trimming of the injection site(s) and surrounding tissues during the dressing procedure.

• WARNINGS:
  • Discontinue treatment at least 28 days prior to slaughter of cattle and swine.
  • Milk taken from animals during treatment and for 96 hours after the last treatment must not be used for food.
  • Rapid intravenous administration may result in animal collapse. Oxytetracycline should be administered intravenously slowly over a period of at least 5 minutes.
• PRECAUTIONS:
  • Exceeding the highest recommended dosage level of drug per lb of body weight per day, administering more than the recommended number of treatments, and/or exceeding 10 mL subcutaneously per injection site in adult beef and dairy cattle and 5 mL intramuscularly per injection site in adult swine may result in antibiotic residues beyond the withdrawal period.
  • Consult with your veterinarian prior to administering this product to determine the proper treatment required in the event of an adverse reaction.
  • At the first sign of any adverse reaction, discontinue use of the product and seek the advice of your veterinarian. Some reactions may be attributed to anaphylaxis (an allergic reaction) or cardiovascular collapse of unknown cause.
  • Shortly after injection, treated animals may have transient hemoglobinuria, resulting in darkened urine.
  • As with all antibiotic preparations, the use of this drug may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi. A lack of response by the treated animal or the development of new signs may suggest that an overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms has occurred. If any of these conditions occur, consult your veterinarian.
  • Since bacteriostatic drugs may interfere with the bactericidal action of penicillin, it is advisable to avoid giving AGRIMYCIN 200 in conjunction with penicillin.
