Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions precisely. Incorrect usage can lead to complications. Terramycin, containing oxytetracycline, can cause gastrointestinal upset in some animals, manifesting as vomiting or diarrhea. Skin irritation at the application site is also possible.
Allergic Reactions
While rare, allergic reactions can occur. Symptoms might include swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing. Contact your vet immediately if you observe any allergic response. Pre-existing conditions may increase the likelihood of adverse reactions.
Interactions with Other Medications
Terramycin can interact negatively with certain medications. Inform your veterinarian about all medications your animal is currently taking to prevent potential drug interactions. This includes both prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
Cautions and Contraindications
Do not use Terramycin in animals with known sensitivity to tetracyclines. Pregnant or lactating animals require careful consideration; consult your veterinarian before use. Always follow the label’s dosage instructions precisely. Overdosing can lead to harmful effects. Store Terramycin properly to maintain its effectiveness and prevent accidental ingestion.
