Adverse Reactions

Oxytetracycline hydrochloride will acidify the water. The pH should be maintained at an acceptable level for fish by the addition of a buffer. Monitor water quality and temperature.

DISPOSAL OF TREATED WATER: Do not discharge marking immersion water containing oxytetracycline into surface waters.

PRECAUTION: Prepare fresh solutions every 24 hours.

Special Note: The concentration of drug required in medicated water must be adequate to compensate for variation in the age of the animal, feed consumption rate and the environmental temperature and humidity, each of which affects water consumption.

RESIDUE WARNINGS: Use as sole source of oxytetracycline. Do not administer to turkeys, cattle or sheep within 5 days of slaughter. Zero-day slaughter withdrawal in swine. Do not administer to chickens or turkeys producing eggs for human consumption. Do not administer this product with milk or milk replacers.
