COMPOSITION :
Each ml contains:
Amoxicillin……….. 150 mg
Gentamycin sulfate………..40 mg
Excipients ad………..1 ml
DESCRIPTION :
The combination of amoxicillin and gentamycin acts synergistically against a wide range of infections caused by both Gram-positive (e.g. Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Corynebacterium spp.) and Gram-negative (e.g. E.coli, Pasteurel- la, Salmonella and Pseudomonas spp.) bacteria incattle and swine. Amoxicillin inhibits mainly in Gram-positive bacteria the cross-linkage between the linear peptidoglycan polymer chains that make up a major component of the cell wall. Gentamycin binds to the 30S subunit of the ribosome of mainly Gram-negative bacteria, thereby interrupting protein synthesis. Excretion of Biogenta occurs mainly unchanged via urine, and to a lesser degree via milk.
INDICATIONS:
Cattle: gastrointestinal, respiratory and intramammary infections caused by bacteria sensitive to the combination of amoxicillin and gentamycin, such as pneumonia, diarrhoea, bacterial enteritis,
