Penstrep Injection

These Penstrep Injection is a small-spectrum penicillin with bactericidal action against mainly Gram-positive bacteria (like Streptococci, Staphylococci, some Corynebacteria spp., Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, Clostridia spp., Bacillus anthracis) and Gram-negative cocci, Leptospira canicola, Campylobacter foetus and Actinomyces bovis.
Dihydro-streptomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, has bactericidal activity against mainly Gram-negative bacteria, like E. coli, Proteus vulgaris, Brucella spp., Salmonella spp., Shighella spp., Klebsiella spp., Pasteurella spp. and some Mycoplasmas. The combination acts additive and in some cases synergistic.

Indications
Penstrep is effective against infections caused by micro-organisms susceptible to penicillin or dihydro-streptomycin, like respiratory, uterine, and alimentary infections, metritis, mastitis, osteomyelitis, peritonitis, septicaemia, cystitis, joint-ill and secondary bacterial infections in cattle, horses, pigs, foals, calves, sheep and goats.

Contra-indications
Do not administer to animals hypersensitive to penicillins, aminoglycosides and/or procaine. Do not administer to animals with renal dysfunctions, disturbances of auditory or vestibular organs. Do not use in small herbivores like rabbits, chinchillas and guinea pigs, not for prolonged use in pregnant animals because of the risk of toxicity to the foetus.
