(3) Limitations. Administer by intramuscular injection only. Warning: Not for use in horses intended for food. For veterinary use only. Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. Women of childbearing age, asthmatics, and persons with bronchial and other respiratory problems should exercise extreme caution when handling this product.

Direct contact with the skin should therefore be avoided. Accidental spillage on the skin should be washed off immediately with soap and water.
