Composition:
Each ml solution contains:
100 mg kanamycin (as sulphate)
100,000 IU colistin sulphate
0.5 mg dexamethasone disodium phosphate
Action:
Kanamycin is a broad spectrum antibiotic, active against Gram-positive (Corynebacterium, Staphylococcus) and especially Gram-
negative bacteria, such as Aerobacter, Enterobacter, E. coli, Klebsiella, Proteus et Salmonella. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and
Bacteroides spp are resistant.
An efficacious blood level is very quickly obtained after intramuscular injection (within 30 minutes).
Colistin is only active against Gram-negative germs, with a bactericidal action against e.g. Aerobacter aerogenes, E. coli, Haemophilus
influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium.
The combination gives a broad spectrum activity against Gram-positive and -negative bacteria.
Dexamethasone, with its antiphlogistic and anti-allergic action, improves the diffusion of the antibiotics in the infected tissues.

Gastro-intestinal and urogenital infections; complex infections, especially in young animals (e.g. diarrhoea in calves).
