Aptivus Solution


Pronunciation: tye-PRAN-a-vir
Generic Name: Tipranavir
Brand Name: Aptivus

Aptivus Solution is used along with another HIV medicine (ritonavir). Serious and sometimes fatal bleeding in the brain has occurred with this combination. Contact your doctor right away if you develop symptoms of bleeding in the brain. These may include confusion, vision or speech problems, or one-sided weakness.


Serious and sometimes fatal liver problems have also been reported with this combination. Patients who have hepatitis B or C may be at greater risk. Contact your doctor at once if you develop symptoms of liver problems. Such symptoms may include yellowing of the eyes or skin, dark urine, pale stools, stomach pain or tenderness, severe or persistent nausea, or loss of appetite.


Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.





Aptivus Solution is used for:

Treating HIV infection. Aptivus Solution should be used with ritonavir.


Aptivus Solution is a protease inhibitor. It works by blocking the growth of an enzyme (HIV protease) that the HIV virus needs to reproduce in the body.


Do NOT use Aptivus Solution if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Aptivus Solution

  • you have moderate to severe liver disease

  • you are taking alfuzosin, certain antiarrhythmics (eg, amiodarone, bepridil, flecainide, propafenone, quinidine), astemizole, certain benzodiazepines (eg, midazolam, triazolam), certain HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (eg, lovastatin, simvastatin), cisapride, ergot derivatives (eg, ergonovine, ergotamine), other HIV protease inhibitors (eg, saquinavir), pimozide, rifampin, salmeterol, a serotonin 5-HT1 receptor antagonist (eg, eletriptan, sumatriptan), St. John's wort, or terfenadine

  • you are taking sildenafil for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.



Before using Aptivus Solution:


Some medical conditions may interact with Aptivus Solution. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:


  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding

  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if you have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, severe rash, hives, difficulty breathing, dizziness) to any other sulfonamide medicine, such as acetazolamide, celecoxib, certain diuretics (eg, hydrochlorothiazide), glyburide, probenecid, sulfamethoxazole, valdecoxib, or zonisamide

  • if you have cholesterol or lipid problems, diabetes or a family history of diabetes, liver problems (eg, hepatitis B or C), abnormal liver function tests, kidney problems, or bleeding problems (eg, hemophilia)

  • if you take vitamin E or you have had a recent injury or other medical condition that may increase your risk of bleeding or serious bruising

  • if you will be having or have recently had surgery

  • if you have never taken another medicine for HIV infection

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Aptivus Solution. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Certain antiarrhythmics (eg, amiodarone, bepridil, flecainide, propafenone, quinidine), astemizole, certain benzodiazepines (eg, midazolam, triazolam), cisapride, ergot derivatives (eg, ergonovine, ergotamine), certain HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (eg, lovastatin, simvastatin), pimozide, salmeterol, serotonin 5-HT1 receptor antagonists (eg, eletriptan, sumatriptan), or terfenadine because the risk of side effects, including heart or blood vessel problems, muscle problems, or severe breathing problems, may be increased

  • Alfuzosin because the risk for severe low blood pressure may be increased

  • Rifampin or St. John's wort because they may decrease Aptivus Solution's effectiveness

  • Sildenafil (when used for PAH) because the risk of its side effects may be increased by Aptivus Solution

  • Other HIV protease inhibitors (eg, saquinavir) because their effectiveness may be decreased by Aptivus Solution

  • Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin), antiplatelet medicines (eg, clopidogrel), and many prescription and nonprescription medicines (eg, used for aches and pains, asthma, erectile dysfunction, PAH, diabetes, gout, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, HIV, immune system suppression, infections, inflammation, irregular heartbeat, nasal allergies, seizures), multivitamin products, and herbal or dietary supplements (eg, coenzyme Q10, garlic, ginkgo, ginseng, herbal teas, St. John's wort) may interact with Aptivus Solution, increasing the risk of side effects

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Aptivus Solution may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.


How to use Aptivus Solution:


Use Aptivus Solution as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.


  • An extra patient leaflet is available with Aptivus Solution. Talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about this information.

  • Aptivus Solution is taken at the same time with another medicine called ritonavir. If you are taking Aptivus Solution with ritonavir capsule or solution, it can be taken with or without meals. If you are taking Aptivus Solution with ritonavir tablets, it must be taken with meals.

  • Use a measuring device marked for medicine dosing. Ask your pharmacist for help if you are unsure of how to measure your dose.

  • If you are also taking didanosine, do not take it within 2 hours of taking Aptivus Solution. Check with your doctor if you have questions.

  • Taking Aptivus Solution at the same time each day will help you remember to take it.

  • Take Aptivus Solution on a regular schedule to get the most benefit from it.

  • Continue to use Aptivus Solution even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses. Failure to do so may decrease the effectiveness of Aptivus Solution and increase the risk that your HIV infection will no longer be sensitive to Aptivus Solution or to other similar medicines.

  • If you miss a dose of Aptivus Solution, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Aptivus Solution.



Important safety information:


  • Aptivus Solution may cause dizziness or drowsiness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Aptivus Solution with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.

  • Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Aptivus Solution before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.

  • Changes in body fat (eg, an increased amount of fat in the upper back, neck, breast, and trunk, and loss of fat from the legs, arms, and face) may occur in some patients taking Aptivus Solution. The cause and long-term effects of these changes are not known. Discuss any concerns with your doctor.

  • Aptivus Solution may improve immune system function. This may reveal hidden infections in some patients. Tell your doctor right away if you notice symptoms of infection (eg, cough, fever, shortness of breath, sore throat, weakness) after you start Aptivus Solution.

  • When your medicine supply is low, get more from your doctor or pharmacist as soon as you can. Do not stop taking Aptivus Solution, even for a short period of time. If you do, the virus may grow resistant to the medicine and become harder to treat.

  • Aptivus Solution is not a cure for HIV infection. Patients may still get illnesses and infections associated with HIV. Remain under the care of your doctor.

  • Aptivus Solution does not stop the spread of HIV to others through blood or sexual contact. Use barrier methods of birth control (eg, condoms) if you have HIV infection. Do not share needles, injection supplies, or items like toothbrushes or razors.

  • Aptivus Solution may increase triglyceride and lipid levels. The long-term chance of complications from these increased triglyceride and lipid levels, such as heart attack and stroke, are not known at this time.

  • Hemophilia patients - Report all bleeding episodes to your doctor.

  • Aptivus Solution may raise your blood sugar. High blood sugar may make you feel confused, drowsy, or thirsty. It can also make you flush, breathe faster, or have a fruit-like breath odor. If these symptoms occur, tell your doctor right away.

  • Diabetes patients - Check blood sugar levels closely. Ask your doctor before you change the dose of your diabetes medicine.

  • Aptivus Solution may cause you to become sunburned more easily. Avoid the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know how you react to Aptivus Solution. Use a sunscreen or wear protective clothing if you must be outside for more than a short time.

  • Hormonal birth control (eg, birth control pills) may not work as well while you are using Aptivus Solution. To prevent pregnancy, use an extra form of birth control (eg, condoms).

  • Women who take estrogens for birth control or hormone replacement may have an increased risk of rash from Aptivus Solution. Contact your doctor if you develop a rash.

  • Lab tests, including viral load, CD4 count, triglyceride and lipid levels, and liver function, may be performed while you use Aptivus Solution. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.

  • Use Aptivus Solution with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects.

  • Caution is advised when using Aptivus Solution in CHILDREN; they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially rash.

  • Use Aptivus Solution with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 2 years old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.

  • PREGNANCY AND BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risk of using Aptivus Solution while you are pregnant. It is not known if Aptivus Solution is found in breast milk. Mothers infected with HIV should not breast-feed. There is a risk of passing the HIV infection or Aptivus Solution to the baby.

Brand Names: Altinac, Atralin, Avita, Renova, Retin A Micro Gel, Retin-A, Tretin-X


What is tretinoin topical?

Tretinoin is a topical (applied to the skin) form of vitamin A that helps the skin renew itself.


The Retin-A and Avita brands of tretinoin are used to treat acne. The Renova brand of tretinoin is used to reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles and mottled skin discoloration, and to make rough facial skin feel smoother.


Tretinoin topical may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about tretinoin topical?


Avoid exposure to sunlight or artificial UV rays (sunlamps or tanning beds). Tretinoin topical can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight and sunburn may result. Use a sunscreen (minimum SPF 15) and wear protective clothing if you must be out in the sun. Avoid getting this medication in your eyes, mouth, and nose, or on your lips. If it does get into any of these areas, wash with water. Do not use tretinoin topical on sunburned, windburned, dry, chapped, irritated, or broken skin. Also avoid using this medication in wounds or on areas of eczema. Wait until these conditions have healed before using tretinoin topical. Use this medication for as many days as it has been prescribed for you even if you think it is not working. It may take weeks or months of use before you notice improvement in your skin. If you are using tretinoin topical to treat acne, your condition may get slightly worse for a short time when you first start using the medication. Call your doctor if skin irritation becomes severe or if your acne does not improve within 8 to 12 weeks.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using tretinoin topical?


FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether tretinoin topical is harmful to an unborn baby. Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. Tretinoin topical can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

How should I use tretinoin topical?


Use tretinoin topical exactly as your doctor has prescribed it for you. Using more medicine or applying it more often than prescribed will not make it work any faster, and may increase side effects. Do not use this medication for longer than your doctor has prescribed.


Wash your hands before and after applying tretinoin topical. Before applying, clean and dry the skin area to be treated.

Applying tretinoin topical to wet skin may cause skin irritation. If you use Renova, wait at least 20 minutes after washing your face before applying a thin layer of the medication.


Do not wash the treated area for at least 1 hour after applying tretinoin topical. Avoid the use of other skin products on the treated area for at least 1 hour following application of tretinoin topical.


Applying an excessive amount of tretinoin gel may result in "pilling" of the medication. If this occurs, use a thinner layer of gel with the next application.


Tretinoin topical should be used as part of a complete skin care program that includes avoiding sunlight and using an effective sunscreen and protective clothing.


Use this medication for as many days as it has been prescribed for you even if you think it is not working. It may take weeks or months of use before you notice improvement in your skin. If you are using tretinoin topical to treat acne, your condition may get slightly worse for a short time when you first start using the medication. Call your doctor if skin irritation becomes severe or if your acne does not improve within 8 to 12 weeks. Store tretinoin topical at room temperature away from moisture and heat. The gel formulations of Retin-A are flammable, keep them away from open flame.

What happens if I miss a dose?


Use the medication as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and wait until your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not apply extra medicine to make up the missed dose.


What happens if I overdose?


Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. Tretinoin topical is not expected to cause overdose symptoms.

What should I avoid while using tretinoin topical?


Avoid exposure to sunlight or artificial UV rays (sunlamps or tanning beds). Tretinoin topical can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight and sunburn may result. Use a sunscreen (minimum SPF 15) and wear protective clothing if you must be out in the sun. Avoid getting this medication in your eyes, mouth, and nose, or on your lips. If it does get into any of these areas, wash with water. Do not use tretinoin topical on skin that is sunburned, windburned, dry, chapped, or irritated. Also avoid using this medication in wounds or on areas of eczema. Wait until these conditions have healed before using tretinoin topical.

Avoid using skin products that can cause irritation, such as harsh soaps, shampoos, or skin cleansers, hair coloring or permanent chemicals, hair removers or waxes, or skin products with alcohol, spices, astringents, or lime. Do not use other medication skin products unless your doctor has told you to.

AK-Dilate


Generic Name: phenylephrine ophthalmic (fen ill EFF rin)

Brand Names: AK-Dilate, AK-Nefrin, Isopto Frin, Mydfrin, Neo-Synephrine Ophthalmic, Neofrin


What is AK-Dilate (phenylephrine ophthalmic)?

Phenylephrine ophthalmic causes constriction of blood vessels in the eyes. It also enlarges the pupils, reduces the production of fluid in the eyes, and increases the amount of fluid that drains from the eyes.


Phenylephrine ophthalmic available over-the-counter is used to relieve redness, burning, irritation, and dryness of the eye caused by wind, sun, and other minor irritants. Prescription-strength phenylephrine ophthalmic is used to constrict blood vessels in the eye and to dilate (make bigger) the pupil for conditions such as glaucoma, before surgery, and before eye examinations.

Phenylephrine ophthalmic may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about AK-Dilate (phenylephrine ophthalmic)?


Do not touch the dropper to any surface, including the eyes or hands. The dropper is sterile. If it becomes contaminated, it could cause an infection in the eye.

If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying phenylephrine ophthalmic. Ask your doctor if contact lenses can be reinserted after application of the medication. Phenylephrine ophthalmic may contains preservative (benzalkonium chloride), which may cause discoloration of contact lenses.


Do not use phenylephrine ophthalmic more often or continuously for longer than 48 to 72 hours without consulting a doctor. Chronic use of this medication may damage the blood vessels (veins and arteries) in the eyes. Consult a doctor if your symptoms do not improve or appear to worsen. Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Phenylephrine ophthalmic may cause blurred vision. If you experience blurred vision, avoid these activities.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using AK-Dilate (phenylephrine ophthalmic)?


Do not use phenylephrine ophthalmic if you have glaucoma, except under the supervision of your doctor.

Do not use phenylephrine ophthalmic after eye surgery, if you have an eye infection, if you have an eye injury, or if you have a problem with the normal tearing of your eyes without the approval and direction of your doctor. Using phenylephrine ophthalmic under these circumstances could lead to absorption of the drug by the body, and side effects could affect the heart.


Before using this medication, tell your doctor if you



  • have any type of heart condition, including high blood pressure;




  • take any medicines to treat a heart condition;




  • have asthma;




  • have diabetes; or




  • have thyroid problems.



You may not be able to use phenylephrine ophthalmic, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above.


Phenylephrine ophthalmic is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not known whether phenylephrine ophthalmic will be harmful to an unborn baby. Do not use this medication without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether phenylephrine ophthalmic passes into breast milk. Do not use phenylephrine ophthalmic without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

How should I use AK-Dilate (phenylephrine ophthalmic)?


Use phenylephrine eyedrops exactly as directed by your doctor, or follow the directions that accompany the package. If you do not understand these instructions, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse to explain them to you.


Wash your hands before and after using the eyedrops.


If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying phenylephrine ophthalmic. Ask your doctor if contact lenses can be reinserted after application of the medication. Phenylephrine ophthalmic may contain a preservative (benzalkonium chloride), which may cause discoloration of contact lenses.


To apply the eyedrops:



  • Tilt the head back slightly and pull down on the lower eyelid. Position the dropper above the eye. Look up and away from the dropper. Squeeze out a drop and close the eye. Apply gentle pressure to the inside corner of the eye (near the nose) for about 1 minute to prevent the liquid from draining down the tear duct. Repeat the process in the other eye if needed.




Do not use phenylephrine ophthalmic more often or continuously for longer than 48 to 72 hours without consulting a doctor. Chronic use of this medication may damage the blood vessels (veins and arteries) in the eyes. Consult a doctor if your symptoms do not improve or appear to worsen. Do not touch the dropper to any surface, including the eyes or hands. The dropper is sterile. If it becomes contaminated, it could cause an infection in the eye. Do not use any eyedrop that is discolored or has particles in it. Store phenylephrine ophthalmic at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the bottle properly capped.

What happens if I miss a dose?


Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next regularly scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and apply the next one as directed. Do not use a double dose of this medication.


What happens if I overdose?


An overdose of this medication is unlikely to be harmful. If you do suspect an overdose, or if the drops have been ingested (taken by mouth), contact an emergency room or poison control center for advice.


What should I avoid while using AK-Dilate (phenylephrine ophthalmic)?


Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Phenylephrine ophthalmic may cause blurred vision. If you experience blurred vision, avoid these activities. Do not touch the dropper to any surface, including the eyes or hands. The dropper is sterile. If it becomes contaminated, it could cause an infection in the eye.

If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying phenylephrine ophthalmic. Ask your doctor if contact lenses can be reinserted after application of the medication. Phenylephrine ophthalmic may contain a preservative (benzalkonium chloride), which may cause discoloration of contact lenses.


Do not use phenylephrine ophthalmic more often or continuously for longer than 48 to 72 hours without consulting a doctor. Chronic use of this medication may damage the blood vessels (veins and arteries) in the eyes. Consult a doctor if your symptoms do not improve or appear to worsen.

Airet Solution is a sympathomimetic (beta agonist) bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the smooth muscle in the airway, which allows air to flow in and out of the lungs more easily.


Do NOT use Airet Solution if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Airet Solution

  • you are using another short-acting sympathomimetic bronchodilator (eg, metaproterenol) or epinephrine

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.



Before using Airet Solution:


Some medical conditions may interact with Airet Solution. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:


  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding

  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if you have a history of heart problems, (eg, fast or irregular heartbeat, heart failure), blood vessel problems, high blood pressure, or low blood potassium levels

  • if you have a history of seizures, diabetes, an overactive thyroid, kidney problems, or an adrenal gland tumor (pheochromocytoma)

  • if you have ever had an unusual reaction to another sympathomimetic medicine (eg, pseudoephedrine)

  • if you are taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) (eg, phenelzine), or tricyclic antidepressant (eg, amitriptyline), or if you have taken either of these medicines within the last 14 days

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Airet Solution. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Diuretics (eg, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide) because the risk of low blood potassium levels may be increased

  • Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors (eg, entacapone), epinephrine, MAOIs (eg, phenelzine), short-acting sympathomimetic bronchodilators (eg, metaproterenol), stimulants (eg, amphetamine), sympathomimetics (eg, pseudoephedrine), or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because they may increase the risk of Airet Solution's side effects

  • Beta-blockers (eg, propranolol) because they may decrease Airet Solution's effectiveness

  • Digoxin because its effectiveness may be decreased by Airet Solution

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Airet Solution may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

Agri-Cillin





Dosage Form: FOR ANIMAL USE ONLY
Agri-Cillin®

Injectable Antibiotic

NADA 065-010, Approved by FDA


For use in Cattle, Sheep, Swine and Horses.


PENICILLIN G PROCAINE


INJECTABLE SUSPENSION U.S.P.


READ ENTIRE BROCHURE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT



Description:


Agri-Cillin is a suspension of penicillin G procaine in 100,250, and 500 mL multiple dose vials. Each mL is designed to provide 300,000 units of penicillin G as procaine in a stable suspension. Penicillin G procaine is an antibacterial agent which has activity against a variety of pathogenic organisms, mainly in the Gram-positive category.



Indications:


Agri-Cillin is indicated for treatment of bacterial pneumonia (shipping fever) caused by Pasteurella multocida in cattle and sheep, erysipelas caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae in swine, and strangles caused by Streptococcus equi in horses.



Directions for Use:


A thoroughly cleaned, sterile needle and syringe should be used for each injection (needles and syringes may be sterilized in boiling water for 15 minutes). Before withdrawing the solution from the bottle, disinfect the rubber cap top with 70% alcohol. The injection site should be similarly disinfected with alcohol. Needles of 16 to 18 gauge and 1 to 1.5 inches long are adequate for intramuscular injections.


In livestock intramuscular injections should be made by directing the needle of suitable gauge and length into the fleshy part of a thick muscle, such as rump, hip, or thigh 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.



Dosage:


Agri-Cillin is administered by the intramuscular route. The product is ready for injection after warming the vial to room temperature and shaking to ensure a uniform suspension.


The daily dose of penicillin is 3,000 units per pound of body weight (1 mL per 100 lbs body weight). Continue daily treatment until recovery is apparent and for at least one day after symptoms disappear, usually in two to three days.


Treatment should not exceed four consecutive days.


No more than 10 mL should be injected at any one site. Rotate injection sites for each succeeding treatment.



Care of Sick Animals:


The use of antibiotics in the management of diseases is based on an accurate diagnosis and an adequate course of treatment. When properly used in the treatment of diseases caused by penicillin-susceptible organisms, most animals treated with Agri-Cillin show a noticeable improvement within 24 to 48 hours. If improvement does not occur within this period of time, the diagnosis and course of treatment should be re-evaluated. It is recommended that the diagnosis and treatment of animal diseases be carried out by a veterinarian.


Since many diseases look alike but require different types of treatment, the use of professional veterinary and laboratory services can reduce treatment time, costs and needless losses. Good housing, sanitation and nutrition are important in the maintenance of healthy animals and are essential in the treatment of disease.



Residue Warnings:


Exceeding the daily dosage of 3,000 units per pound of body weight, administering for more than four consecutive days, or exceeding the maximum injection site volume per injection site may result in antibiotic residues beyond the withdrawal time.


Milk taken from treated dairy animals within 48 hours after the last treatment must not be used for food. Discontinue use of this drug for the following time period before treated animals are slaughtered for food:


Cattle-14 days, Sheep-9 days, Swine - 7 days.


A withdrawal period has not been established for this product in pre-ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal.



Warning:


Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. Not for use in humans. Keep out of reach of children.



Precautions:


Intramuscular injection in cattle, sheep, and swine may result in a local tissue reaction which persists beyond the withdrawal period of 14 days (cattle), 9 days (sheep), or 7 days (swine). This may result in trim loss of edible tissue at slaughter.


Allergic or anaphylactic reactions, sometimes fatal, have been known to occur in animals hypersensitive to penicillin and procaine. Such reactions can occur unpredictably with varying intensity. Animals administered penicillin G procaine should be kept under close observation for at least one half hour. Should allergic or anaphylactic reactions occur, discontinue use of the product and call a veterinarian. If respiratory distress is severe, immediate injection of epinephrine or antihistamine following manufacturer's recommendations may be necessary.


As with all antibiotic preparations, use of this drug may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms, including fungi. A lack of response by the treated animal, or the development of new signs or symptoms suggest that an overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms has occurred. In such instances, consult your veterinarian.


It is advisable to avoid giving penicillin in conjunction with bacteriostatic drugs such as tetracyclines.



Storage Conditions:


Agri-Cillin should be stored between 2 to 8°C (36 to 46°F).


Restricted Drug - California.

Use Only as Directed.
