ENTRIL 10
FOR CATTLE AND PIGS
PRESENTATION:
A ready to use sterile aqueous injectable solution
containing 100 mg/ml enrofloxacin.
USES:
Enrofloxacin is a synthetic, broad spectrum antimicrobial,
bactericidal in action and effective against a wide
range of gram positive and gram negative bacteria
as well as mycoplasmas.
Cattle
Diseases of the respiratory and alimentary tract,
of bacterial or mycoplasmal origin, e.g. pasteurellosis,
mycoplasmosis, coli-bacillosis, coli-septicaemia and
salmonellosis, and secondary bacterial infections
subsequent to viral conditions, e.g. viral pneumonia,
where clinical experience, supported where possible
by sensitivity testing of the causal organism, indicates
enrofloxacin as the drug of choice.
Pigs
Diseases of the respiratory and alimentary tract,
of bacterial or mycoplasmal origin, e.g. pasteurellosis,
actinobacillosis, mycoplasmosis, coli-bacillosis,
coli-septicaemia and salmonellosis, and multifactorial
diseases such as atrophic rhinitis and enzootic pneumonia,
where clinical experience, supported where possible
by sensitivity testing of the causal organism, indicates
enrofloxacin as the drug of choice.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
Cattle
2.5 ml per 100 kg bodyweight (2.5 mg enrofloxacin
per kg bodyweight) daily by subcutaneous injection
for 3 days.
For salmonellosis and complicated respiratory disease
this rate may be doubled to 5 ml per 100kg bodyweight
(5 mg enrofloxacin per kg bodyweight) daily by subcutaneous
injection for 5 days.
Not more than 10 ml should be administered at one
subcutaneous injection site.
Pigs
2.5 ml per 100 kg bodyweight (2.5 mg enrofloxacin
per kg bodyweight) daily by subcutaneous injection

For salmonellosis and complicated respiratory disease
this rate may be doubled to 5 ml per 100kg bodyweight
(5 mg enrofloxacin per kg bodyweight) daily by subcutaneous
injection for 5 days.
Not more than 2.5 ml should be administered at one
subcutaneous injection site.
