Synulox LC 3g

Product Overview

Synulox LC 3g is a potent veterinary antibiotic formulated specifically for the treatment of mastitis in lactating cows. Developed by Zoetis, a global leader in animal health, this intramammary suspension provides a targeted approach to bacterial infections of the udder. It combines the broad-spectrum antibacterial activity of amoxicillin with the beta-lactamase inhibitory action of clavulanic acid, effectively combating a wide range of mastitis-causing pathogens, including those resistant to amoxicillin alone.

Benefits of Use

• Effective Mastitis Treatment: Targets common mastitis-causing bacteria in lactating cows.
• Broad-Spectrum Activity: Amoxicillin provides powerful antibacterial action against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
• Enhanced Efficacy: Clavulanic acid overcomes bacterial resistance mechanisms, allowing amoxicillin to work effectively against beta-lactamase producing strains.
• Targeted Delivery: Intramammary formulation ensures direct application to the infected udder quarter for localized action.
• Trusted Manufacturer: Produced by Zoetis, ensuring high quality and reliability in veterinary pharmaceuticals.

How to Use

Always consult a veterinarian before administering Synulox LC 3g. Follow these general steps for proper application:

1. Prepare the Udder: Thoroughly milk out the affected quarter(s) prior to treatment.
2. Clean the Teat End: Disinfect the teat end carefully with an appropriate teat wipe or spirit swab provided, ensuring aseptic conditions.
3. Administer Suspension: Remove the cap from one Synulox LC 3g syringe. Carefully insert the nozzle into the teat canal of the affected quarter.
4. Infuse Content: Gently but completely depress the plunger to infuse the entire contents of the syringe into the udder quarter.
5. Massage Udder: After infusion, gently massage the teat and udder to aid distribution of the suspension within the quarter.
6. Treatment Schedule: Administer one syringe per affected quarter, immediately after milking, once every 12 hours for a total of three doses (e.g., three consecutive milkings).
