Product description

Noromycin 300 LA is a sterile, ready to use solution of the broad-spectrum antibiotic oxytetracycline dihydrate. Oxytetracycline is an antimicrobial agent that is effective in treatment of a wide range of diseases caused by susceptible gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

  • 300 mg of oxytetracycline base as amphoteric oxytetracycline.

Indications for use

Noromycin 300 LA is intended for use in treatment for the following diseases when due to oxytetracycline-susceptible organisms:

  • Beef cattle, non-lactating dairy cattle, calves, including pre-ruminating (veal) calves:
    • Noromycin 300 LA is indicated in the treatment of pneumonia and shipping fever complex associated with Pasteurella spp., and Histophilus spp.
    • Noromycin 300 LAis indicated for the treatment of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (pink eye) caused by Moraxella bovis, foot-rot and diphtheria caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum; bacterial enteritis (scours) caused by Escherichia coli; wooden tongue caused by Actinobacillus lignieresii; leptospirosis caused by Leptospira pomona; and wound infections and acute metritis caused by strains of staphylococcal and streptococcal organisms sensitive to oxytetracycline.
  • Swine:
    • Noromycin 300 LA is indicated in the treatment of bacterial enteritis (scours, colibacillosis) caused by Escherichia coli; pneumonia caused by Pasteurella multocida; and leptospirosis caused by Leptospira pomona.
    • In sows Noromycin 300 LA is indicated as an aid in control of infectious enteritis (baby pig scours, colibacillosis) in suckling pigs caused by Escherichia coli.

Administration and dosage

Beef cattle, non-lactating dairy cattle, calves, including pre-ruminating (veal) calves:

  • A single dosage of 9 mg of oxytetracycline per pound of bodyweightcadministered intramuscularly or subcutaneously is recommended in the treatment of the following conditions:
    • Bacterial pneumonia caused by Pasteurella spp (shipping fever) in calves and yearlings where retreatment is impractical due to husbandry conditions, such as cattle on range, or where their repeated restraint is inadvisable.
    • Infectious bovine kertaconjunctivitis (pink eye) caused by Moraxella bovis.
  • For other indications Noromycin 300 LA is to be administered intramuscularly, subcutaneously or intravenously at a level of 3 to 5 mg of oxytetracycline per pound of bodyweight per day. In treatment of foot-rot and advanced cases of other indicated diseases, a dosage level of 5 mg per pound of bodyweight per day is recommended. Treatment should be continued 24 to 48 hours following remission of disease signs, however, not to exceed a total of four consecutive days. If improvement is not noted within 24 to 48 hours of the beginning of treatment, diagnosis and therapy should be re-evaluated by a veterinarian.
  • Do not administer intramuscularly in the neck of small calves due to lack of sufficient muscle mass.
  • Use extreme care when administering this product by intravenous injection. Perivascular injection or leakage from an intravenous injection may cause severe swelling at the injection site.

Swine:

  • A single dosage of 9 mg of oxytetracycline per pound of bodyweight administered intramuscularly is recommended in the treatment of bacterial pneumonia caused by Pasteurella multocida in swine, where retreatment is impractical due to husbandry conditions or where repeated restraint is inadvisable.

  • Noromycin 300 LA can also be administered by intramuscular injection at a level of 3 to 5 mg of oxytetracycline per pound of bodyweight per day. Treatment should be continued 24 to 48 hours following remission of disease signs; however, not to exceed a total of four consecutive days. If improvement is not noted within 24 to 48 hours of the beginning of treatment, diagnosis and therapy should be re-evaluated by a veterinarian.

  • For sows, administer once intramuscularly 3 mg of oxytetracycline per pound of bodyweight approximately eight (8) hours before farrowing or immediately after completion of farrowing as an aid in the control of infectious enteritis in baby pigs.

  • For swine weighing 25 lbs of bodyweight and under, Noromycin 300 LA should be administered undiluted for treatment at 9 mg/lb but should be administered diluted for treatment at 3 or 5 mg/lb.
