Neogent

Description

Neogent

Composition: 1 ml solution for injection contains 80 mg Gentamicin base (as sulfate).

Indications: NEOGENT is used for the treatment of diseases, especially respiratory and urogenital tract of domestic animals, infections of the skin and soft tissue infections, arthritis and septicemia caused by micro-organisms susceptible to gentamicin.

Contraindications: The drug is not administered to neonates and gravid animals, and animals with impaired renal function and diseases of the inner ear, as well as in animals allergic to gentamicin and other aminoglycoside antibiotics.

Side effects: Frequent use of gentamicin can cause damage to the kidneys, the organs of hearing and balance. The cats show special sensitivity, so that therapeutic doses lead to severe damage of vestibular function (balance disorder with ataxia) and damage of kidneys. In such cases therapy should be dismissed. There are possible allergic reactions to gentamicine. Gentamicin can cause neuromuscular weakness, nausea, and increases in transaminases and alkaline phosphatase. Gentamicin may contribute to decreasing heart rate and depression of blood pressure. If side effects occur during the drug administration, the treatment should be stopped and symptomatic therapy should be initiated.

Target species: Horses, cattle, pigs, dogs and cats.

Dosage and method of administration: The preparation should be administered intramuscularly in the following doses:

Dogs and cats:

• 0.8 mg/10kg of body weight (divided into 12 hours of the first day)
• 0.4 mg/10kg of body weight (divided into 12 hours, by the end of therapy).

Pigs, cattle, horses:

• 2mL/50kg of body weight (divided into 12 hours)

Treatment takes 3-5 days, depending on the intensity of the disease.

Treatment of urinary tract infections in dogs and cats caused by the Proteus spp., E. coli and Pseudomonas spp. should last at least 10 to 14 days.

Instructions for proper use of drugs:

Parenteral application of gentamicin should be used only for serious infections caused by susceptible microorganisms. At the same time it is needed to have an antibiogram, because all strains, or sensitive microorganisms, are not equally sensitive to gentamicin.

Withdrawal period: Meat and edible tissues of treated animals are not for human consumption during treatment and for 72 days from the last application of drug.The drug does not apply in lactating dairy cows whose milk is used for human consumption.

Special considerations:

It must not be administered with chloramphenicol, diuretics and other aminoglycoside antibiotics, or interfere with cephalosporins, erythromycin, penicillin, sulfonamides, and vitamin B complex. Do not apply simultaneously with neuromuscular blocking agents, general anesthetics and magnesium sulfate. Ototoxic and nephrotoxic effects were observed in all of the target species.

Use in pregnancy and lactation:

Gentamicin is not used in pregnant animals, since it passes the placental barrier and the risk of ototoxic effect on fetus exists. The use of the drug is contraindicated in lactating animals whose milk is used for human consumption.
