Label directions say to administer via IV. (Not set to or even know how to)
Can it safely and properly given subcutaneously?
Thank you-

Giving Banamine off label (ie SQ or IM) is one of the FDAs big deals because it leads to voliative residues, which results in condemnation of carcasses and fines for the offenders (don't shoot the messenger - as they said in Dragnet - "Just the facts ma'm") - the FDA is on the look out for Banamine residues (which result from off label use)
Giving Banamine off label also results in inflammation and tissue reaction resulting in loss of product (according to "authorities although I have still not seen a study that says that the Banamine reaction is worse than other things we give IM or SQ to cattle)
The 4 day meat with hold applies ONLY to Banamine given IV - because of pharmokinetics (the way the drug is metabolized) the drug remains in the bovine much longer when given either IM or SQ
Giving Banamine off label is technically illegal unless you have a valid vet-cleint-patient relationship and all of the parts of AMDUCA and ELDU are met
I would contact my vet and make sure you get a slaughter with hold for the route that you are using - if he/she says 4 days they are WRONG and if you are thinking of shipping the animal using that with hold DON'T - you do not want to end up on the FDAs "RED LIST"
okiegirl - I hope your fair isn't soon and that your vet gave you a slaughter with hold in writing for the Banamine s/he gave IM
LLBUX - thanks for reading the label - many people don't IMHO if you are giving drugs to animals destined to be food you should read the label each and every time you give the drug - hope that helps
rackranch said:DL, can you please provide me with your site reference stating/showing where the FDA has fined for the use of Banamine because of an injection site. If you could provide me with any reference showing where the FDA has fined a 4-H of FFA student for the use of IM Banamine administration It would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks...

There is nothing in AMDUCA or ELDU that permits an unapproved route of adminstration, so giving Banamine or any straight flunixin product, by any route other than IV is illegal. Doesn't matter if it is done by a vet or authorized by a vet, your vet does or surely should know this.
