Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals
To the user:
This product contains mineral oil. Accidental injection/self injection may result in severe pain and swelling, particularly if injected into a joint or finger, and in rare cases could result in the loss of the affected finger if prompt medical attention is not given.
If you are accidentally injected with this product, seek prompt medical advice even if only a very small amount is injected and take the package insert with you.
If pain persists for more than 12 hours after medical examination, seek medical advice again.
To the physician:
This product contains mineral oil. Even if small amounts have been injected, accidental injection with this product can cause intense swelling, which may, for example, result in ischaemic necrosis and even the loss of a digit. Expert, PROMPT, surgical attention is required and may necessitate early incision and irrigation of the injected area, especially where there is involvement of finger pulp or tendon.
4.6 Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
A mild transient swelling may be observed at the injection site for 2 weeks.
4.7 Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
Not to be used during lay or within 4 weeks before the onset of the laying period.
4.8 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
No information is available on the safety and efficacy use of this vaccine when used with any other. A decision to use this vaccine before or after any other veterinary medicinal product needs to be made on a case by case basis.
4.9 Amounts to be administered and administration route
Nobilis RT+IBmulti+ND+EDS should be given to birds around 14‑20 weeks of age but not later than 4 weeks before the expected onset of lay.
In the event that live vaccines were used to prime birds against Infectious Bronchitis, Rhinotracheitis and Newcastle disease, Nobilis RT+IBmulti+ND+ EDS should be given at least 4 weeks after the administration of the live vaccines.
Each bird should be given 0.5 ml of vaccine intramuscularly in the thigh or chest muscle.
Before using the vaccine allow it to reach ambient temperature (15-25C).
Shake the bottle vigorously before use and periodically during use.
Ensure that vaccination equipment is clean and sterile before use.
Do not use vaccination equipment with rubber parts as the excipient may damage certain types of rubber.
4.10 Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
After administration of a double dose the reactions are not different from those observed after a single dose.
4.11 Withdrawal period(s)
Zero days.
5. IMMUNOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Inactivated viral vaccines.
ATCvet code: QI01AA18
The antigens are inactivated with formalin or β-propiolactone and suspended in the aqueous phase of an water in oil adjuvant emulsion, in order to enhance a prolonged stimulation of immunity.
The vaccine is intended to stimulate active immunity against Avian Rhinotracheitis virus, against the Massachusetts and D274/D207 serotypes of Infectious Bronchitis virus and against Newcastle disease and Egg Drop Syndrome '76 virus.
An enhanced immune response is obtained when the product is used for booster immunisation after priming the birds with live vaccines, if available, against Infectious Bronchitis, Rhinotracheitis and Newcastle Disease virus. Priming with Egg Drop Syndrome live vaccine is not necessary. The best results will be obtained if vaccination with the inactivated vaccine takes place at least 4 weeks after administration of the live primer.
