KEPRO CHLOR 200 WSP 100g

COMPOSITION:

Contains per g: Chlortetracycline HCl 200  mg

DESCRIPTION:

Chlortetracycline HCl is characterised by its broad antimicrobial spectrum of activity. When applied orally it is rapidly absorbed in the digestive tract, thus allowing high blood- and tissue liquid-levels to be attained. By inhibiting the metabolism of glutaminic acid, it prevents protein synthesis in micro-organisms. It acts bacteriostatic upon a great number of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, like Salmonella and Pasteurella spp. Chlortetracycline HCl is not completely absorbed from the digestive tract and is retained there in a relatively large amount. In the digestive tract it comes in direct contact with pathogenic microflora where its bacteriostatic effect is manifested. Chlortetracycline HCl is particularly indicated in the treatment of intestinal and respiratory infections in poultry diseases. In therapeutic doses it is non-toxic.

INDICATIONS:

Chlor 200 wsp is indicated for treatment of primary and secondary bacterial gastrointestinal infections and treatment of primary and secondary bacterial respiratory infections in poultry (Mycoplasmosis, CRD); non-specific enteritis hexamitiasis and infectious sinusitis in poultry. Chlor 200 wsp can be used to treat infections caused by Mycoplasma, Rickettsia, Spirochetes and Chlamidia in calves, lambs, kids and pigs.

CONTRA-INDICATIONS:
