Product Overview

Terramycin 20% LA Injectable Solution, a distinguished product from Zoetis, stands as a potent, long-acting antibiotic formulated specifically for veterinary use.

This solution is engineered to provide effective therapeutic concentrations for up to 5 days following a single administration, significantly reducing the frequency of treatments and associated stress on livestock. It is indicated for the treatment of a wide array of bacterial infections in cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs, targeting both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

How to Use

1. Consult a Veterinarian: Always administer under the guidance and prescription of a qualified veterinarian.
2. Dosage: The recommended dosage typically ranges from 1ml per 10kg body weight (20mg Oxytetracycline per kg body weight) for a long-acting effect. Your veterinarian will determine the precise dose based on the animal's weight, species, and the severity of the infection.
3. Administration Route: Administer deep intramuscularly (IM) or subcutaneously (SC). Ensure aseptic technique is followed during injection.
4. Injection Site: For larger volumes, divide the dose and inject into multiple sites to minimize local tissue reaction.
5. Shake Well: Gently shake the vial before use to ensure uniform suspension.
