    Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals:

    In case of adverse reactions following accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and

    show the package leaflet or the label to the physician.

    
    

    Pregnancy and lactation:

    Can be used during pregnancy and lactation.

    
    

    Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction:

    Safety and efficacy data are available which demonstrate that this vaccine can be mixed with UNISTRAIN PRRS (where this vaccine is authorised) and administered at one injection site. The

    product information of UNISTRAIN PRRS should be consulted before administration of the mixed

    products.

    
    

    The mixed administration of UNISTRAIN PRRS and ERYSENG PARVO should only be used when vaccinating animals prior to mating.

    For mixed use the onset and duration of immunity of the parvovirus component and the onset of immunity of the Erysipelas component have been demonstrated to be equivalent to those determined for ERYSENG PARVO when used alone. However, the duration of immunity of the Erysipelas component following mixed use has not been investigated.

    
    

    No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used with any other veterinary medicinal product except the product mentioned above. A decision to use this vaccine before or after any other veterinary medicinal product therefore needs to be made on a case by case basis.

    
    

    Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes):

    No adverse reactions other than already mentioned under section “Adverse reactions” can be expected after the administration of a 2-fold vaccine dose.

    
    

    Major incompatibilities:

    Do not mix with any other veterinary medicinal product except with UNISTRAIN PRRS.
