COLICRID 40% is administered orally, incorporated in individual or masal feed, for 5-7 consecutive days, in different doses, depending on the species, age, body weight, physiological state and health.
To ensure a correct dosage body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing.
For mass treatment the animals should be grouped according to body weight and should be properly dosed to avoid underdose.
In order to ensure a good homogenization of the product, it must first be mixed with an appropriate amount of feed, obtaining a pre-mixture, before being incorporated into the final feed.
Swine: the recommended dose is 20-40 mg active substance/kg body weight/day, equivalent to 50-100 mg CLORCRID 40% / kg body weight / day.
Broilers: the recommended dose is 20-40 mg active substance/kg body weight/day, equivalent to 50-100 mg CLORCRID 40% / kg body weight / day.
During the treatment period, the animals should eat only medicated feed.
Feed consumption should be monitored to ensure proper dosing. If the consumption of feed does not correspond to the quantities for which the recommended concentrations have been calculated, the concentration of CLORCRID 40% must be adjusted so that the animals assimilate the recommended dose, otherwise another medication must be considered.

Special precautions for use in animals
Use of the 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 product deviating from the instructions in the SPC may increase the prevalence of bacteria resistant to clortetracycline and may decrease the effectiveness of treatment with related substances, due to the potential for cross-resistance. Official, national and regional antimicrobial policies should be taken into account when the product is used.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the medicinal product to animals
People with known hypersensitivity the any of the components of the veterinary medicinal product should avoid contact with it.
Tetracyclines may cause hypersensitivity (allergy) after inhalation, ingestion or skin contact.
Allergic reactions to these substances can be severe.
Special precaution should be taken when incorporating the product into the feed. Personal protective equipment consisting of safety glasses and mask should be worn when handling the veterinary medicinal product.
In case of eye contact rinse immediately with plenty of water.
If symptoms such as rash occur after exposure, seek medical advice and show the package leaflet to the physician. Swelling of the face, lips or eyes or difficulty breathing are much more serious symptoms and require emergency medical attention.

Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
Chlortetracycline crosses the placental barrier and can cause abnormal staining of bones and teeth in the fetus. Chlortetracycline is partially eliminated in milk. The safety of the product has not been demonstrated during pregnancy and lactation.
Use only accordingly to the benefit-risk assessment by the responsible veterinarian.
Do not use in laying birds.
Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Bivalent or trivalent cations (Mg, Fe, Al, Ca) can chelate tetracyclines. Tetracyclines should not be administered with antacids, aluminum-based gels, mineral-based preparations, because insoluble complexes are formed, which reduce the absorption of antibiotics.
Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
Chlortetracycline has low toxicity and is very safe to use if the recommended dose is used. In rare cases overdose may cause diarrhea.
