Dosage Amount, Indications & Limitations |
520.2345h Tetracycline hydrochloride, sodium novobiocin, and prednisolone tablets. Specifications: Each tablet contains the equivalent of 60 milligrams of tetracycline hydrochloride, 60 milligrams of novobiocin, and 1.5 milligrams of prednisolone, or 180 milligrams of tetracycline hydrochloride, 180 milligrams of novobiocin, and 4.5 milligrams of prednisolone. Conditions of use: Dogs Amount: Ten milligrams of each antibiotic and 0.25 milligram of prednisolone per pound of body weight (1 tablet for each 6 pounds or 1 triple-strength tablet for each 18 pounds) every 12 hours for 48 hours. Treatment is to be continued with novobiocin and tetracycline alone at the same dose schedule for an additional 3 days or longer as needed. Indications: It is used in the treatment of acute and chronic canine infections such as tonsillitis, bronchitis, and tracheobronchitis when caused by pathogens susceptible to tetracycline and/or novobiocin, such as Staphylococcus species and Escherichia coli, when it is necessary to initially reduce the severity of associated clinical signs. Limitations: As with all antibiotics, appropriate in vitro culturing and susceptibility tests of samples taken before treatment should be conducted. Administer only for the first 48 hours of treatment. The product is contraindicated in animals with tuberculosis, hyperadrenocorticalism, or peptic ulcers. Clinical and experimental data have demonstrated that corticosteroids administered orally or parenterally to animals may induce the first stage of parturition when administered during the last trimester of pregnancy and may precipitate premature parturition followed by dystocia, fetal death, retained placenta and metritis. Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. |
