PENİDRO LA®

Suspension for Injection

Veterinary Systemic Antibacterial

 

COMPOSITION

When it is shaken, it is white colored, ready-to-use, long acting, sterile suspension, containing 100.000 IU Procaine Penicilline G, 100.000 IU Benzathine Penicilline G and 250 mg Dihydrostreptomycin sulfate equivalent to 200 mg Dihydrostreptomycin base per ml.

 

PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

Penidro LA Suspension for Injection is a broad-spectrum, long-acting formulation effective against penicillin- and dihydrostreptomycin-sensitive gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The combination of benzathine and procaine penicillin G disrupts cell wall synthesis in sensitive bacteria, particularly during their growth phase, leading to their death. This also allows streptomycin to enter the bacteria at higher concentrations. Thus, dihydrostreptomycin, which passes into the bacteria at higher concentrations, acts by disrupting protein synthesis. This combined and mutually reinforcing synergistic effect is bacteriostatic and bactericidal even at very low doses. Since penicillin is effective against gram-positive bacteria and dihydrostreptomycin is effective against gram-negative bacteria, the spectrum is broadened through synergistic effects.

The synergistic effect resulting from the combination of penicillin and dihydrostreptomycin has a spectrum that includes both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It has been shown to be effective against the following bacteria under in vitro conditions.

Corynebacterium pyogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Listeria spp., Pasteurella haemolytica, P. Multocida, Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Peptostreptecoccus spp., Erysipelothrix insidiosa, Clostridium spp., Escherichia coli, Proteus spp., Moraxella spp., Actinobacillus lignieresi, Haemophilus spp., and Salmonella spp.

Due to the depot effect, it is gradually absorbed from the injection site and is found in the blood partly free and partly bound to proteins (penicillin 80-90%, dihydrostreptomycin 3%). It passes into the kidneys, liver, lungs, skin and soft tissue, mucosa, serosa, and connective tissue. 80-90% is excreted unchanged in large amounts by the kidneys and in smaller amounts in bile, milk, and sweat.

ADVERSE EFFECTS

In sensitive animals, allergic and anaphylactic side effects such as urticaria, skin lesions, nausea, vomiting, respiratory distress, pulmonary and laryngeal edema, vasomotor center paralysis and coma and death may occur. Especially, in animals with renal dysfunction, high plasma concentrations of streptomycin, which are dose-dependent, may exhibit neurotoxic, nephrotoxic, and ototoxic effects. In cases of renal insufficiency, the dosage should be reduced to an adequate level.

 

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Calcium, sodium, potassium, and dextrose solutions, acids and alkalis, chlorothiazide, phenobarbital, sodium phenytoin, Vitamin C and B vitamins, physical and chemical incompatibility, tetracyclines, ampicillin, cloxacillin, methicillin, carbenicillin, sulfadiazine, and nitrofurantoin exhibit antagonistic interactions. Because of the potential toxic effects, dihydrostreptomycin should not be used in combination with other drugs known to be nephrotoxic, ototoxic, and neurotoxic and/or drugs that may increase these effects of dihydrostreptomycin (other aminoglycosides, furosemide, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, anesthetics, cephalosporins, etc.). Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of penicillin-streptomycin combinations, especially at high doses, in animals under general anesthesia and/or with muscle relaxants may increase the neuromuscular blocking effect and potentially cause death.

 

SYMPTOMS OF OVERDOSE, PRECAUTIONS AND ANTIDOTE

When used in excess of the recommended dosage and periods, the resulting deafness becomes permanent and untreatable. If sensitivity-related side effects occur, administration of the drug should be discontinued immediately and treatment should be initiated with cardiac and respiratory analeptics, antihistamines, corticosteroids, and adrenaline, depending on the clinical table.

 

WITHDRAWAL PERIODS

Meat: 60 days for cattle and sheep

Milk: 15 days (30 milkings) for cow and sheep

Because of the long withdrawal period for drug residues in milk, it is not recommended to administer this drug to sheep and cows from which milk is obtained for human consumption.

 

CONTRAINDICATIONS

It should not be used in animals with hypersensitivity to penicillin, dihydrostreptomycin and cephalosporins or in animals with renal insufficiency. It should not be administered intravenously.

Use during pregnancy: Dihydrostreptomycin should not be used in pregnant animals due to its neurotoxic, nephrotoxic, and ototoxic effects on the fetus.

 

GENERAL WARNINGS

Consult your veterinarian before use and in case of an unexpected effect. Keep out of reach of children and foodstuff.

 

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY THE ADMINISTRATOR AND WARNINGS FOR VETERINARY SURGEON

Penicillin sensitivity: Penicillin injection, ingestion, inhalation, or tissue contact may cause sensitivity. Those who are sensitive to penicillin should wear gloves during administration. If swelling of the face, eyes, or lips, or difficulty breathing occurs as a result of penicillin injection, ingestion, inhalation, or contact, seek immediate medical attention.
