Dihydrostreptomycin or streptomycin in combination with penicillin G in dairy cattle therapeutics: a review and re-analysis of published data. Part 1: clinical pharmacology.

In this paper, the clinical indications and efficacy, pharmacokinetics and potential for antimicrobial synergy of penicillin and dihydrostreptomycin or streptomycin, when combined, are discussed.
