CHEMISTRY Gentamicin is a bactericidal aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from Micromonospora purpurea of the Actinomycetes group. It is a powder, readily soluble in water and basic in nature. Gentamicin aqueous solutions do not require refrigeration and are stable overa wide range of temperatures and pH.
Chickens: Each day-old chicken should be aseptically injected subcutaneously in the neck with GARASOL Injection diluted with sterile, physiologic saline solution to provide 0.2 mg gentamicin in a 0.2-mL dose. This concentration can be provided by diluting GARASOL Injection as follows:
GARASOL mL | Sterile Saline mL | # Doses | Dose/Chicken mL |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 99 | 500 | 0.2 |
2 | 198 | 1000 | 0.2 |
4 | 396 | 2000 | 0.2 |
10 | 990 | 5000 | 0.2 |
100 (1 bottle) | 9900 | 50000 | 0.2 |
Turkeys: Each 1- to 3-day-old turkey should be aseptically injected subcutaneously in the neck with GARASOL Injection diluted with sterile, physiologic saline solution to provide 1 mg gentamicin in a 0.2-mL dose. The dose should be injected under the loose skin on top of the neck, halfway between the head and base of the neck. This concentration can be provided by diluting GARASOL Injection as follows:
GARASOL mL | Sterile Saline mL | # Doses | Dose/Turkey mL |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 19 | 100 | 0.2 |
2 | 38 | 200 | 0.2 |
4 | 76 | 400 | 0.2 |
10 | 190 | 1000 | 0.2 |
100 (1 bottle) | 1900 | 10000 | 0.2 |
