Liquamycin LA-200 (Oxytetracycline) Injection is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections in animals. It is safe for use in swine, as well as dairy and beef cattle. Indications include the treatment of conditions such as scours, pink eye, foot rot, pneumonia, and other bacterial infections. It comes ready to us and is FDA approved. Veterinarians may prescribe Liquamycin LA-200 in 100 mL, 250 mL or 500 mL vials.How it Works

Oxytetracycline interferes with bacteria's ability to produce necessary proteins. Bacteria are unable to grow without those proteins, so they can no longer multiply. Therefore, oxytetracycline stops infections from spreading, and any remaining bacteria are effectively killed by the animal's immune system or die independently.

Special Precautions

Milk withholding period is 96 hours. Meat withdrawal period is 28 days. When administering, eye protection, gloves, and protective clothing should always be worn. Severe eye irritation can occur. Harmful when swallowed. Not for use in humans. Keep out of reach of animals and children. Because bacteriostatic medications can interfere with penicillin's bactericidal action, Vetrimycin should not be administered in conjunction with any penicillin drugs.

Recovered pregnant animals may abort. Withdraw use if any signs of side effects are noted, administer an antidote of epinephrine, and seek immediate veterinary attention. If administering intravenously, this medication should be slowly and carefully injected to minimize chances of shock. Treated animals could experience short-term hemoglobinuria and subsequent dark urine post-injection. Like any antibiotic, this drug can cause overgrowth of non-susceptible bacteria and/or fungi. New symptoms or lack of improvement can indicate that overgrowth of such organisms is occurring. If this happens, notify your veterinarian.
