Cepralock 2.6 g Intramammary Suspension for Dry Cows

Selection of cows for treatment with the veterinary medicinal product should be
based on veterinary clinical judgement. Selection criteria may be based on the
mastitis and cell count history of individual cows, or recognized tests for the detection
of sub-clinical mastitis or bacteriological sampling.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
It is good practice to observe dry cows regularly for signs of clinical mastitis. If a
sealed quarter develops clinical mastitis, the affected quarter should be stripped out
manually before appropriate therapy is instituted.
To reduce the risk of contamination, do not immerse the syringe in water.
Use the syringe only once.
It is important to observe strict aseptic technique for the administration of the
veterinary medicinal product, because the veterinary medicinal product does not
have antimicrobial activity.
Do not administer any other intramammary product following administration of the
veterinary medicinal product.
In cows that may have sub-clinical mastitis, the veterinary medicinal product may be
used following administration of a suitable dry cow antibiotic treatment to the infected
quarter.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals:
This veterinary medicinal product may cause skin and eye irritation. Avoid contact
with skin or eyes.
Should skin or eye contact occur, wash the affected area thoroughly with water.
Bismuth salts have been associated with hypersensitivity reactions. People with
known hypersensitivity to bismuth salts should avoid contact with the veterinary
medicinal product. If you develop symptoms following exposure, seek medical advice
and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician.
Wash hands after use.
Disinfectant wipes:
The disinfectant wipes may cause skin and eye irritation due to the presence of
isopropyl alcohol. Avoid eye contact. Avoid prolonged contact with skin. Avoid
inhalation of the vapour.
The wearing of gloves may prevent skin irritation.
Wash hands after use.
