DESCRIPTION:
Tripelennamine hydrochloride is a white, crystalline material which is stable, nonhygroscopic, and readily soluble in water. Tripelennamine hydrochloride is characterized by its capacity to antagonize many of the pharmacologic effects of histamine. RE-COVR™ (tripelennamine hydrochloride injection) is supplied as a sterile solution in multiple dose vials containing 20 mg of tripelennamine hydrochloride, USP per mL, and may contain sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment.
INDICATIONS:
For use in horses and cattle in conditions in which antihistaminic therapy may be expected to lead to alleviation of some signs of disease. Not for use in beef calves less than 2 months of age, dairy calves, and veal calves. See package onsert for complete indications for use.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
Horses: Administer intramuscularly only at a dose of 0.5 mg per lb of body weight (2.5 mL for each 100 lbs of body weight). This dose may be repeated in 6-12 hours if necessary.
Cattle: Administer intravenously or intramuscularly at a dose of 0.5 mg per lb of body weight (2.5 mL for each 100 lbs of body weight). This dose may be repeated in 6-12 hours if necessary. The intravenous route of administration may provide a more rapid onset of action. Use aseptic technique to administer RE-COVR™ (tripelennamine hydrochloride injection).
Warm the solution to near body temperature prior to administration. Intramuscular injection should be made into the heavy musculature of the hind leg or cervical area.
While venomous snake bites have been treated with antihistaminic drugs, other conjunctive therapy is required because of toxic reactions associated with the protein complex of venom.
Do not puncture the stopper more than 30 times, use within the 24-month product expiry.

Store at 20°C to 25°C (68°F - 77°F), excursions permitted between 15°C to 30°C (59°F and 86°F). Keep from freezing. Protect from light.
