Indications
In vitro Amoxicillin is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gramnegative bacteria which include:
Escherichia coli
Klebsiella pneumoniae
Proteus species
Salmonella species
Staphylococci and
Streptococci
Not effective against beta-lactamase producing organisms.
Suitable for the control of infections due to susceptible microorganisms in cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and cats where a single injection giving prolonged activity is required. It may also protect from secondary bacterial invasion due to sensitive organisms in cases where bacteria are not the initial cause of the disease.
Indications include infections of:
(a) Alimentary tract
(b) Respiratory tract
(c) Skin and soft tissue
(d) Urogenital tract and,
(e) In prevention of post-operative infection (treat before surgery).
Dose to be administered and administration route
To ensure the correct dosage, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing or overdosing.
Cattle, sheep and pigs - By intramuscular injection only.
Dogs and cats - By subcutaneous or intramuscular injection.
The recommended dosage rate is 15 mg per kg bodyweight, repeatable if necessary after 48 hours. Massage the injection site.
Shake the vial before use
Swab the septum before removing each dose. Use a dry sterile needle and syringe. A separate injection site should be used for each administration.

Dose volume is equivalent to 1 ml per 10 kg bodyweight. If dose volume exceeds 15 ml in cattle and 4 ml in sheep and pigs, it should be divided and injected into two or more sites. As with other injectable preparations, normal aseptic precautions should be observed as this product does not contain antimicrobial preservative.
An appropriately graduated syringe must be used to allow accurate administration of the required dose volume. This is particularly important when injecting small volumes.
If no distinct clinical response is seen after the second treatment, a check of the diagnosis and eventually a change of treatment are required.
Adverse reactions
In rare cases, hypersensitivity reactions such as urticaria anaphylaxis shock can occur after use. In the case of allergic reactions, treatment should be discontinued and a symptomatic treatment should be initiated. In very rare cases, local tissue reactions such as swelling and pruritus may result from the use of amoxicillin.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s))
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports)
