Before infusion, the teat should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.

Withdrawals
Milk:
- Milk for human consumption may only be taken 96 hours after calving.
- If calving occurs before 54 days after treatment, milk for human consumption may be taken after 54 days plus 96 hours after treatment, ensuring that the milk from at least 7 complete milking is discarded.
- The absence of antibiotic should be confirmed by testing before its milk is used for human consumption. This is advisable because of variation in the milking cows ability to excrete antibiotic from dry cow products.
- In cows suffering from hypocalcaemia, it may be necessary to discard milk for a longer period.
Meat:
- Animals for human consumption should not be slaughtered until 21 days after last treatment.
