Clamoxyl Ready-To-Use
Active substance
ATC code
Species
Dogs, cats, sheep, pigs and cattle
Indications
For the treatment of infections caused by susceptible organisms in dogs, cats, sheep, pigs and cattle. The product is not effective against betalactamase producing organisms.
Dose to be administered and administration route
The recommended dosage rate is 7 mg/kg bodyweight once daily for up to 5 days by subcutaneous (dogs, cats), or intramuscular (dogs, cats, sheep, pigs and cattle) injection.
If the volume to be given is greater than 15 ml (cattle) and 5 ml (sheep and pigs) the dose should be divided and the remaining should be injected in another site.
Shake the vial well to suspend the active ingredient before use.
Swab rubber septum and remove required volume aseptically.
Do not breach more than 40 times.
Massage the injection site after administration. Use a new anatomical site for repeated injections. To ensure the correct dosage, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid overdosing.
In common with other penicillin preparations hydrolysis takes place rapidly in the presence of water. It is important therefore that a dry syringe is used when extracting the suspension for injection to avoid contaminating the remaining contents of the vial with drops of water.
Adverse reactions
Use of the product may occasionally result in local tissue reaction.
Penicillins and cephalosporins may cause hypersensitivity (allergy, allergic skin reactions) after use. Allergic reactions may occasionally be serious (anaphylaxis).
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).
