Indications
In cattle:
Treatment of respiratory infections caused by Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida susceptible to amoxicillin.
In pigs:
Treatment of respiratory infections caused by Pasteurella multocida susceptible to amoxicillin.
Dose to be administered and administration route
Intramuscular use.
Shake well before use.
15 mg amoxicillin per kg bodyweight; corresponding to 1 ml of the veterinary medicinal product per 10 kg.
Administration should be repeated after 48 hours.
To ensure a correct dosage and to avoid underdosing, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible.
In cattle, do not administer more than 20 ml of the veterinary medicinal product per injection site.
In pigs, do not administer more than 6 ml of the veterinary medicinal product per injection site.
A separate injection site should be used for each administration.
As with other injectable preparations normal aseptic precautions should be observed.
If no distinct clinical response is seen after the second treatment, a check of the diagnosis and eventually a change of treatment are required.
Do not broach the vial more than 10 times: if necessary, use automatic syringes.
Adverse reactions
Allergic reactions, varying in severity from a light skin reaction such as urticaria to anaphylactic shock.
In rare cases local irritation may occur due to the injection of amoxicillin. The frequency of this adverse reaction may be decreased by reducing the volume of injection per injection site (see 4.9). The irritation is always of low intensity and recedes spontaneously and quickly.
In the case of allergic reactions, treatment should be discontinued and a symptomatic treatment should be initiated.
