For active immunization of pigs from 3 weeks of age against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae to reduce lung lesions caused by infection with M. hyopneumoniae.

Onset of immunity: 3 weeks after vaccination.

Duration of immunity: 23 weeks after vaccination.

  • 5. CONTRAINDI­CATIONS

None.

  • 6. ADVERSE REACTIONS

A transient increase in body temperature (on average 1 °C) was very commonly observed during the first 24 hours after vaccination in laboratory and field trials. In individual pigs the temperature increase compared to pre-treatment may commonly exceed 2 °C. This resolves spontaneously within 48 hours without treatment.

Local tissue reactions in the form of swelling at the injection site, which may be associated with local heat, redness and pain at palpation, are very common and may last for up to 2 days (based on laboratory safety studies). The area of local tissue reactions is in general below 2 cm in diameter. In a laboratory study, a post-mortem examination of the injection site, performed 4 weeks after the administration of a repeated single dose of the vaccine, very commonly revealed a mild inflammatory response, as evidenced by the absence of tissue necrosis and little fibrosis.

Immediate mild hypersensitivity-like reactions were uncommonly observed after vaccination, resulting in transient clinical signs such as vomiting, diarrhea or depression, in field efficacy studies. These clinical signs normally resolve without treatment. Anaphylaxis may occur in very rare cases. In case of such reactions, appropriate treatment is recommended.

The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention: – very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s)) – common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated) – uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated) – rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)

  • – very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports).

If you notice any side effects, even those not already listed in this package leaflet or you think that the medicine has not worked, please inform your veterinary surgeon.
