Penicillin G Procaine (300,000 I.U.)

Indications for Use: For use in the treatment of general bacterial infections, pneumonia (shipping fever), and gangrenous mastitis.

Dosage and Administration: Give 3 mL per 100 lbs., deep IM, once or twice daily, using a 16-18 gauge, one and one-half inch needle. Inject no more than 10-15 mL per injection site. Shake bottle well before use.

Duration of Treatment: A minimum of 2-3 days of treatment may be necessary for most problems. Treatment should not exceed 4 consecutive days.

Packaging: This product comes in 100 and 250 mL bottles.

Precautions and Side Effects: The injection should be given deep into muscle tissue. Careful attention should be given to ensure the needle is not in a blood vessel. To accomplish this, after the needle is completely inserted, the plunger on the syringe should be pulled back creating negative pressure. If any blood is noted in the hub of the needle or syringe, the needle should be completely removed from the animal and the whole process repeated. See page B360 for additional administration techniques.

• Allergic reactions are very possible when using this drug. Two signs of problems are hives and breathing difficulty. If either of these signs occur, epinephrine should be given immediately at a dose of 1 mL per 100 lbs., injected IM or SQ. See page F200.

Once an animal has had a reaction to penicillin, DO NOT ADMINISTER penicillin or ampicillin again for any reason.
