Clinical information

Rispoval 3 BRSV Pi3 BVD Lyophilisate and Suspension for Suspension for Injection for Cattle — SPC Details

Source: VMD Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC). Last updated 27 Mar 2026.

Onset of immunity: 3 weeks.
Duration of immunity: 6 months (demonstrated by challenge studies) for BRSV and
BVDV Type 1. Duration of immunity has not been established for bovine Pi3 virus.
Efficacy has not been demonstrated against BVDV Type 2 strains.

Route: intramuscular.
Reconstitution of the vaccine:
Reconstitute the vaccine by adding the suspension to the vial containing the lyophilisate.
When the lyophilisate and suspension are filled in equally sized vials, inject the entire
suspension into the vial containing the lyophilisate.
When the lyophilisate is filled in a smaller vial size than the suspension, the reconstitution
of the vaccine is carried out in 2 steps:
1. Inject 10 ml of the suspension on the lyophilised plug in the vial containing the
lyophilisate.
2. Shake well and extract the reconstituted lyophilised fraction from the vial and mix
with the remaining suspension in the liquid fraction vial.
Shake well before use.
Reconstituted product is a slightly coloured turbid liquid which might contain a loose
sediment, which is easily resuspended on shaking well.
Vaccination scheme:
Administer one dose (4 ml) of the reconstituted vaccine according to the following
vaccination scheme:
