Dosage and administration

Shake well before use!

Prophylactic vaccination:
Basic vaccination: two deep injections should be given intramuscularly on alternate sides of the body, 14 days apart. Re-vaccination: every 9 months: two deep injections should be given intramuscularly on alternate sides of the body, 14 days apart.

Treatment:
Two deep injections should be given intramuscularly on alternate sides of the body, 14 days apart. If there is still no clearly identifiable improvement in the skin and hair lesions of animals infected with dermatophytosis two weeks after a second injection, a third injection is recommended. The recommendation of the third administration in horses is based on practical experience and on extrapolation of efficacy data from cats and dogs.

Recommended dose:
- Horses (under 400 kg): 0.3 ml
- Horses (over 400 kg): 0.5 ml
- Dogs (up to 10 kg): 0.3 ml
