Propionibacterium acnes injection
別名: Immunoregulin, Eqstim, Arthrokehlan A, Coparvax, Corymunun, Imunoparvum
### What is this medication? Your pet is receiving an injection of a biologic response modifier (often called an **immunostimulant**). It contains killed bacteria that act as a "wake-up call" to your pet's immune system, helping their body fight off chronic bacterial or viral infections. ### What to Expect * **Flu-like symptoms:** Because the immune system is being activated, it is common for pets to experience mild, temporary side effects within hours of the injection. These may include **tiredness (lethargy), a mild fever, chills, or a temporary loss of appetite**. * **Treatment timeline:** This medication is usually given as a series of injections over several weeks or months, often alongside traditional antibiotics or antiviral medications. ### When to Contact Your Veterinarian > **Emergency Warning:** Rarely, pets can have a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to the injection. Seek immediate veterinary care if your pet develops facial swelling, hives, severe vomiting/diarrhea, difficulty breathing, or sudden collapse shortly after the injection.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
