Indications

Cattle and Sheep: For the control and treatment of respiratory and other infections caused by amoxicillin susceptible bacteria only. Pigs: For the treatment of infectious diseases in pigs caused by or associated with organisms sensitive to amoxicillin.

Dose to be administered and administration route

This product does not contain an antimicrobial preservative. Use a dry, sterile needle and syringe. Swab the septum before removing each dose. Shake the vial well before use.

Cattle, Sheep & Pigs: By intramuscular route only. Dogs: By subcutaneous injection.

The injection site should be massaged after injection.

The recommended dosage rate is 15 mg amoxicillin per kg bodyweight. This is equivalent to 1 ml/10 kg. The maximum injection volume at any one site is:

Cattle: 20 ml; Sheep: 4 ml; Pigs: 5 ml; Dogs: 2.5 ml.

Larger dose volumes should be divided and given into separate sites.

One repeat administration may be given after 48 hours. For intramuscular injections, separate site(s) to the first injection(s) must be used.

Use a dry syringe for extraction of suspension to avoid hydrolysis of amoxicillin.

An appropriately graduated syringe must be used to allow accurate administration of the required dose volume. This is particularly important when injecting small volumes.

The closure should not be pierced more than 30 times.

Adverse reactions

As with all penicillins, amoxicillin may cause hypersensitivity (allergy) and should not be used when an animal is known to be allergic to beta-lactams.

Occasional local reaction of a transient nature may occur at the site of injection.
