Special Precautions

RESIDUE WARNINGS: Do not medicate chickens or turkeys producing eggs for human consumption. To avoid drug residues in edible flesh withdraw medication from chickens and turkeys ten (10) days prior to slaughter for food.

Treated cattle must not be slaughtered for at least ten (10) days after the last dose. Exceeding five (5) consecutive days of treatment may cause violative tissue residue to remain beyond the withdrawal time. Do not use in calves under one (1) month of age or calves being fed an all-milk diet. Use in these classes of calves may cause violative residues to remain beyond the withdrawal time. Do not use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older. Use of sulfamethazine in this class of cattle may cause milk residues.

Withdraw medication from swine fifteen (15) days prior to slaughter for food.

PRECAUTIONS: Have only medicated water available during treatment, and check carefully to insure adequate drug dosage and water intake. Cattle and calves not drinking or eating must be dosed by drench or with immediate release sulfamethazine bolus. See package insert for additional information.
