DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
KANAMYCIN SULFATE is a broad spectrum antibiotic that is bactericidal for gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The drug is indicated for control of fish diseases caused by Aeromonas , Vibrio , Flexibacter , and Mycobacteria (fish tuberculosis). Freshwater fishes absorb Kanamycin in a bath, resulting in rapid attainment of therapeutic blood serum levels. It is , therefore, useful in cases of systemic bacterial infections of freshwater fishes.

Made in U.S.A.

TREATMENT PROCEDURES AND DOSAGE:
BATH: As a treatment for susceptible external infections, use as a bath at a concentration of from 26.7 to a maximum of 66.6 ppm (mg/L) (this will produce a concentration of from 20 to 50 ppm active Kanamycin). Higher concentrations than 66.6 ppm will not improve the efficacy of the product. The actual concentration should be determined through research as it applies to a particular situation. Partial water changes must be made after 24-48 hours, followed by a re-treatment. If improvement is not noted within 3 days, discontinue. To achieve the recommended dosage: add 100.9 mg (to achieve a concentration of 26.7 ppm) to a maximum of 252.35 mg per gallon of water. For accuracy and reproducibility of results, this drug should be measured by weight. However, because of its relative safety in aquariums, it can be measured by volume (teaspoons) when treating relatively small volumes of water. An approximation of the recommended treatment can be achieved by adding 1 level teaspoon to 20 gallons of water (this will produce a concentration of 20 ppm active Kanamycin) up to 1 teaspoon to 8 gallons (this will produce a concentration of 50 ppm active Kanamycin). At the minimum recommended dosage, 100 grams of this product will treat approximately 990 gallons of water.

As a treatment for systemic (internal) infections, the concentration can be increased to 133.3 ppm (mg/L) (100 ppm active). Treat 3-5 days or until complete remission of disease. Make partial water changes and re-treat every 48 hours. An approximation of the recommended concentration can be achieved by adding 1/4 level teaspoon to 1 gallon of water.

CAUTION:
Avoid skin and eye contact.

Avoid breathing the powder or dust. Use in an area with minimal air movement to prevent blowing of the powder or dust.
In case of eye contact, immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes.
In case of skin contact, wash with soap or a mild detergent.
In case of ingestion, call a physician immediately.
