Description

Spectinomycin 5% – 50mg/mL Liquid Solution

Symptoms of Problems for Which Spectinomycin is Used:

• Respiratory infections such as Mycoplasma and bacterial pneumonia.
• Gastrointestinal infections including colibacillosis (E. coli infections) and salmonellosis.
• Secondary bacterial infections in weakened or stressed livestock.
• Growth retardation and decreased productivity due to bacterial illnesses.

Use Cases:

• Poultry: Treats respiratory infections like chronic respiratory disease (CRD) and colibacillosis.
• Swine: Addresses enteritis caused by E. coli and other bacterial pathogens.
• Cattle: Used for bacterial enteritis and systemic infections.

How to Use?

1. Preparation: Shake the bottle thoroughly before use.
2. Dosage Measurement: Refer to the dosage chart for precise calculations based on weight.
3. Administration: Administer orally using a syringe or as directed by your veterinarian.
4. Frequency: Ensure the prescribed frequency is adhered to for optimal results.

How It Works?

Spectinomycin inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria by targeting the 30S ribosomal subunit. This disrupts bacterial growth and replication, leading to the elimination of infection and recovery of the animal.
