| Dosage and method of administration |
Colicrid pulv.50% is administered orally, to individuals or to the mass (by incorporating it into drinking water), for 5 consecutive days, in different dosages, according to the species, age, weight, physiological status and health. For the mass treatment, in drinking water, we recommend the correct calculation of the total weight and the product quantity that must be administered, as well as the preparation of premixes, for a correct homogeneity. Pigs: the recommended dosage is 100.000 UI a.s./kg b.w./day, equivalent to 10 mg Colicrid pulv.50% / kg /b.w. /day.
Chickens (broilers): the recommended dosage is 100.000 UI a.s./kg b.w./day, equivalent to 10 mg Colicrid pulv.50% / kg /b.w. /day.
The duration of treatment should be limited to the minimum time necessary to treat the disease. The consumption of water with the product depends on the clinical condition of the animals. To obtain a correct dosage, the concentration of colistin must be adjusted accordingly. |

| Contraindications |
Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to colistin or to any of the excipients. Do not use in horses, particularly in foals, since colistin, due to a shift in the gastrointestinal microflora balance could lead to the development of antimicrobial associated colitis (Colitis X), typically associated with Clostridium difficile, which may be fatal. Do not use in rabbits. |
