69-4690-002LIQUAMYCINLA-200®(OXYTETRACYCLINE INJECTION)Each ml contains 200mg of oxytetracycline base as oxytetracycline amphotericFor Use in Beef Cattle,Nonlactating Dairy Cattle and Swine

LIQUAMYCIN® LA-200 ® (oxytetracycline injection) is a sterile, ready-to-use solution for the administration of the broad-spectrum antibiotic oxytetracycline (Terramycin) by injection. Terramycin, discovered by Pfizer scientists, is an antimicrobial agent that is effective in the treatment of a wide range of disease caused by susceptible gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

LIQUAMYCIN® LA-200 ® administered to cattle or swine for the treatment of bacterial pneumonia at an intramuscular dosage of 9 miligrams of oxytetracycline per pound of body weight, has been demonstrated in clinical trials to be as effective as two or three repreated, daily treatments of Terramycin ® Injectable at 3 to 5 milligrams per pound of body weight.

LIQUAMYCIN® LA-200 ® does not require refrigeration; however, it is recommended that it be stored at room temperature, 15°-30°C (59°-86°F). The antibiotic activity of oxytetracy-cline is not appreciably diminished in the presence of body fluids, serum, or exudates.

WARNING

Discontinue treatment at least 28 days prior to slaughter of cattle and swine.

Not for use in lactating dairy animals.
