Special precautions for use

Special precautions for use in animals

The use of the product should be based on testing the susceptibility of bacteria isolated from animals. If this is not possible, therapy should be based on epidemiological information about the susceptibility of the target bacteria.

Official, national and regional antimicrobial policies must be observed when using the product.

Use of the product deviating from the instructions in the SPC may increase the risk of development and selection of amoxicillin-resistant bacteria and decrease the effectiveness of treatment with other penicillins due to the potential for cross-resistance.

Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals

Penicillins and cephalosporins can cause hypersensitivity reactions (allergies) after self-injection, inhalation, ingestion or skin contact.

Hypersensitivity to penicillins may be associated with cross-sensitivity to cephalosporins and vice versa.

Occasionally, allergic reactions to these substances can be severe.

In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician.

In case of accidental skin contact, wash with soap and water. Handle this product with care to prevent exposure by taking all precautions.

This product will not be handled if you know that you are a sensitive person or have been warned not to handle such products.

If you develop symptoms following exposure, such as a skin rash, you should seek medical advice and show the doctor this warning. Swelling of the face, lips, or eyes or difficulty with breathing are more serious symptoms and require urgent medical attention.

The use during pregnancy, lactation

The product can be used in pregnant animals or during lactation.
