For Prevention and Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia in Baby Pigs
DESCRIPTION: IRON HYDROGENATED
DEXTRAN INJECTION is a sterile solution containing 100 mg of elemental
iron per mL, stabilized with a low molecular weight hydrogenated dextran
and 0.5% phenol as a preservative.
INDICATIONS: For the prevention and treatment of anemia due to iron deficiency in baby pigs.
Iron deficiency anemia occurs commonly in the suckling
pig, often within the first few days following birth. As body size and
blood volume increase rapidly from the first few days following birth,
hemoglobin levels in the blood fall due to diminishing iron reserves
which cannot be replaced adequately from iron in the sow’s milk. Thus,
the need for a readily available outside source of iron is apparent.
Without this additional iron many newborn pigs may develop anemia within
the first few days of life. Anemia retards growth and lowers the body
defenses against disease; scours, pneumonia, and other conditions may
develop. Death from anemia or infections may occur, sometimes destroying
entire litters.
DOSAGE: For intramuscular injection only.
For Prevention of iron deficiency anemia, administer 1 mL (100 mg iron) at 2 to 4 days of age.
For Treatment of iron deficiency anemia, administer 1 mL (100 mg iron). Treatment may be repeated in 10 days.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Disinfect rubber
stopper of vial and injection site with a cotton ball moistened with
rubbing alcohol or other suitable disinfectant. Use a small needle (20
gauge, 5/8 inch) and syringe that have been sterilized by boiling in
water for 20 minutes. Injection should be made intramuscularly into the
back of the ham. Apply tension to the skin at the
injection site by pulling skin and fat downward with pressure from the
thumb or fingers. Inject into the muscle to a depth of approximately 1/2
inch. Use a clean, sterile needle and syringe for each pig to avoid
spreading infection.
PRECAUTIONS: If disease or abnormal condition is suspected, consult veterinarian before administration.
SIDE EFFECTS: Occasionally pigs may
exhibit a reaction to iron injection, clinically characterized by
prostration and muscular weakness. In extreme cases, death may result.
NOTICE: The intramuscular injection of organic iron preparations into pigs beyond 4 weeks of age may cause staining of muscle tissue.
HOW SUPPLIED: 100 mL multiple dose vials.
STORAGE: Store at controlled room temperature between 15°C and 30°C (59°F-86°F).
PROTECT FROM FREEZING.
