NEOCEN 40%

400 mg/g, water-soluble powder for oral administration to pigs and broilers

Indications

Neocen 40% is indicated in pigs and broilers in the treatment and metaphylaxis of colibacillosis caused by neomycin sulphate-sensitive strains of Escherichia coli.

COMPOSITION

Neomycin sulphate  400 mg/g

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Do not use in known cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.

 

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The most common reactions are edema, pruritus and conjunctival erythema.

Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported very rarely.

 

DOSAGE FOR EACH SPECIES, ROUTE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION

Neocen 40% will be administered orally in drinking water, as fallows:

 

Pigs: a dose of 20-40 mg active substance per kg body weight per day, corresponding to 50-100 mg Neocen 40% per kg body weight per day, for 5 to 8 consecutive days.

Broilers: a dose of 20 mg active substance per kg body weight per day, corresponding to 50 mg Neocen 40% per kg body weight per day, for 7 consecutive days.

The amount of Neocen 40% (CN) will be calculated based on Total Body Weight (TBW) of the herd to be treated and the Total Water Consumption (TWC) of the herd in 24 hours using the formula:

 

AN(L/KG) = X x TBW (kg) 400 x TWC (L)

per 1000 L of water from the tank

X = dose (mg)/ kg body weight.

400 = mg de neomycin sulphate/1 g Neocen 40% powder

SPECIAL WARNINGS

Special precautions for use in animals

Use of the veterinary medicinal product should be based on susceptibility testing of the bacteria isolated from the animal.

If this is not possible, therapy should be based on local (regional, farm level) epidemiological information about susceptibility of the target bacteria. Use of the veterinary medicinal product deviating from the instructions given in the SPC may increase the prevalence of resistant bacteria to neomycin.

Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals

Handling a product of this nature can generate dust particles in the air, in which case overexposure to neomycin may cause eye and skin irritation and respiratory tract irritation if inhaled.

Special precaution measures should be taken during reconstitution of the product in drinking water.

Use personal protective equipment consisting of gloves, mask, goggles and protective clothing while handling the product. In case of eye contact, rinse the affected area with plenty of water.

Do not smoke, eat or drink while handling this product.

Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay

Do not use in pregnant or lactating sows.

Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

Interactions with sulfonamides and vitamin B complex are known.

No local procaine-type anesthetics are used during treatment with neomycin. The effects are antagonistic.

Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary

Due to the low absorption, overdose following oral administration of neomycin is unlikely to occur. However, prolonged administration may lead to elevated levels of neomycin which may result in neurotoxicity, ototoxicity and / or nephrotoxicity.

Major incompatibilities

Neomycin sulfate should not be used with streptomycin, kanamycin, gentamicin, colistin because they increase the toxicity of neomycin over the kidneys.

 

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR THE DISPOSAL OF UNUSED PRODUCT OR WASTE MATERIALS, IF ANY

Any unused veterinary medicinal product or waste materials derived from such veterinary medicinal product should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements. Medicines should not be disposed of via wastewater or household waste.
