Liquamycin la-200 (oxytetracycline injection) is a sterile, ready-to-use solution for the administration of the broad-spectrum antibiotic oxytetracycline (terramycin) by injection. Terramycin, discovered by pfizer scientists, is an antimicrobial agent that is effective in the treatment of a wide range of diseases caused by susceptible gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
Liquamycin la-200 administered to cattle or swine for the treatment of bacterial pneumonia at a dosage of 9 mg of oxytetracycline per lb of body weight has been demonstrated in clinical trials to be as effective as 2 or 3 repeated, daily treatments of terramycin injectable at 3-5 mg/lb of body weight.
Liquamycin la-200 does not require refrigeration; however, it is recommended that it be stored at room temperature, 15°-30°c (59°-86°f). The antibiotic activity of oxytetracycline is not appreciably diminished in the presence of body fluids, serum or exudates.
Features
Liquamycin LA-200 is Approved for
- The treatment of bacterial enteritis (scours, colibacillosis) caused by escherichia coli; pneumonia caused by pasteurella multocida; and leptospirosis caused by leptospira pomona
- In sows, liquamycin la-200 is indicated as an aid in the control of infectious enteritis (baby pig scours, colibacillosis) in suckling pigs caused by escherichia coli
Dosage and Administration
A single dose of 9 mg of Liquamycin LA-200 per pound of body weight administered intramuscularly in the neck region is recommended in the treatment of bacterial pneumonia caused by P. multocida in swine, where re-treatment is impractical due to husbandry conditions or where repeated restraint is inadvisable. Liquamycin LA-200 also can be administered by intramuscular injection at a level of 3 to 5 mg of oxytetracycline per pound of body weight per day. Treatment should be continued for 24 to 48 hr following remission of disease signs; however, do not exceed a total of four consecutive days. Consult your veterinarian if improvement is not noted within 24 to 48 hr of the beginning of treatment. For sows, administer once intramuscularly in the neck region 3 mg of oxytetracycline per pound of body weight approximately eight hours before farrowing or immediately after completion of farrowing. For swine weighing 25 lb of body weight and under, LIQUAMYCIN LA-200 should be administered undiluted for treatment at 9 mg/lb. but should be administered diluted for treatment at 3 or 5 mg/lb.
LiquamycinLA-200 is intended for use in the treatment of disease due to oxytetracycline-susceptible organisms in beef cattle; dairy cattle; calves, including preruminating (veal) calves; and swine. A thoroughly cleaned sterile needle and syringe should be used for each injection (needles and syringes may be sterilized by boiling in water for 15 min). In cold weather, LIQUAMYCIN LA-200 should be warmed to room temperature before administration to animals. Before withdrawing the solution from the bottle, disinfect the rubber cap on the bottle with suitable disinfectant, such as 70% alcohol. The injection site should be similarly cleaned with the disinfectant.
Intramuscular administration: Intramuscular injections in swine should be made by directing the needle of suitable gauge and length into the fleshy part of a thick muscle in the neck region; avoid blood vessels and major nerves. Before injecting the solution, pull back gently on the plunger. If blood appears in the syringe, a blood vessel has been entered; withdraw the needle and select a different site. No more than 5 mL should be injected at any one site in adult swine; rotate injection sites for each succeeding treatment.
Important Safety Information
Cattle/dairy- discontinue treatment with liquamycin la-200 at least 28 days prior to slaughter. Discard milk for 96 hr after the last treatment. Do not exceed the highest recommended level of drug per lb of body weight per day.
Swine - Withdraw liquamycin la-200 at least 28 days prior to slaughter.
