Kriptazen 0.5 mg/ml Oral Solution for Calves

For oral use in calves after feeding.
The dosage is: 100 μg of halofuginone / kg bw, once a day for 7 consecutive days;
i.e. 2 ml of Kriptazen / 10 kg bw, once a day for 7 consecutive days.
The consecutive treatment should be administered at the same time each day.
Once the first calf has been treated, all the forthcoming new-born calves must be
systematically treated as long as the risk for diarrhoea due to C. parvum persists.
Bottle without a pump: To ensure a correct dosage, the use of either a syringe or any
appropriate device for oral administration is necessary.
Bottle with a pump: To ensure a correct dosage, the most appropriate metering pump
should be selected, depending on the weight of the animals to be treated. In cases
where the dosing pump is unsuitable for the weight of animals to be treated, either a
syringe or any other appropriate device can be used.
