Directions for Use: Use only as directed
Inject once deep intramuscularly in the neck region at a dosage rate of 1 ml/10 kg of live body mass of cattle, sheep, goats and pigs, thus providing 20 mg REVERIN L.A. per kg live body mass.

Subcutaneous administration will give the same effect as the intramuscular route but swelling at the injection site could occur. However, in very young pigs under 10 kg body mass, the subcutaneous injection route of administration is preferred.

Normally a single treatment of 1 ml/10 kg body mass will be sufficient for the treatment of susceptible disease conditions. Re-treatment 72 hours following the initial injection may be given if necessary.  Temporary localised swelling at the injection site may be observed.

Dosage

• Cattle:  1 ml/10 kg body mass. Intramuscular injection should be made deep into the fleshy part of the muscle in the neck region.
  To minimise local tissue irritation, no more than 10 ml should be injected at any one site.
• Pigs:  In pigs weighing up to 10 kg, administer 1 ml subcutaneously behind the ear. In pigs weighing in excess of 10 kg, administer 1 ml/10 kg body mass by deep intramuscular injection in the neck below the ear at one site. In pigs over 100 kg it is recommended that the dose be divided and administered into two injection sites.
  N.B. Do not administer more than 0,5 ml to piglets of less than 2 kg body mass.
• Sheep and goats:  Administer 1 ml /10 kg body mass by deep intramuscular injection at one site in the neck region. In sheep and goats over 50 kg, it is recommended that the dose be divided and administered into two injection sites.
  N.B. For rapid recovery, a prompt and accurate diagnosis is essential. It is, therefore, always advisable to consult your veterinarian for a correct diagnosis.
