Dosering og tilførselvei

For intramuscular use.

Administer by deep intramuscular injection once daily. The treatment duration is 3 to 7 days.

Consideration should be given to the accessibility of the target tissue and characteristics of the target pathogen.

The recommended daily dose is 12 mg of benzylpenicillin procaine/kg body weight equivalent to 1 ml/25 kg body weight/day.

The maximum volume to be administered per injection site is 15.5 ml in cattle and 3.2 ml in pigs. To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible.
