Dosage and Administration
The multiple dose cartridge consists of 10 implants each containing 10 small pellets. The pellets are coated with a polymer to provide both extended and delayed release of the active ingredients. A single implant is placed under the skin, on the posterior aspect of the ear
(Fig. 1), by means of a special implanter. The implanter is available from Intervet South Africa (Pty) Ltd. (refer to implanter instructions).
Site of implantation
After appropriately restraining the animal to allow access to the ear, cleanse the skin at the implant needle puncture site with a suitable sanitiser.
The site of implantation is the soft skin on the posterior aspect of the ear.
The implant should be placed as far from the head as possible without inserting the implanter into the area where the skin is firmly attached to the cartilage.
THE IMPLANT MUST NOT BE PLACED CLOSER TO THE HEAD THAN THE EDGE OF THE CARTILAGE RING FARTHEST FROM THE HEAD.
The location of insertion of the needle is a point toward the tip of the ear and at least a needle length away from the intended deposition site (Fig. 2).
Care should be taken to avoid injury to the major blood vessels or cartilage of the ear.
PRESENTATION
Each implant consists of 10 small light yellow, cylindrical pellets with beveled edges.
Revalor® XR is available in a container of 10 x 10 cartridge implants. It contains 100 doses in 10 cartridges with 10 implants per cartridge.
