CAUTIONS:
In case of anaphylactic reaction (acute respiratory distress, mouth breathing, recumbency), administer epinephrine immediately to prevent death. In pigs, administration of this product may occasionally cause a fever, vomiting, shivering, listlessness, incoordination and possibly, death. In pregnant sows and gilts, it may result in abortions. In horses, penicillin G procaine is occasionally associated with excitement and may cause pain at the site of injection. Repeated use of the same injection site may intensify these side effects.
