Comments
Stage of Life: Adult<br><br> Routine use of systemic antibiotics is not recommended. With more severe injury there is often compromised circulation to the area and therefore unlikely that parenteral antibiotics will reach therapeutic concentrations.<br> Trimethoprim-sulpha is usually sufficient as a monotherapy but may become poorly active in purulent and necrotic material.<br> *Procaine - consult withdrawal guidelines for racing and competition
