Special precautions for use

Special precautions for use in animals

Due to the variability (temporal, geographical) in bacterial susceptibility when using the product, it is recommended to collect bacteriological samples and perform susceptibility testing on microorganisms isolated from diseased animals.

If this is not possible, treatment should be based on local epidemiological information (region, farm) regarding the susceptibility of the target bacteria.

Use of the product deviating from the instructions in the SPC may increase the prevalence of resistance to the active substances and may decrease the effectiveness of the treatment due to the potential for cross-resistance.

Official and local policies on antimicrobial products should be taken into account when using the product.

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

Penicillins may cause hypersensitivity (allergy) following injection, inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. Hypersensitivity to penicillins may lead to cross-hypersensitivity to cephalosporins and vice versa. Occasionally, allergic reactions to these substances may be severe.

In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet to the physician, even if only a small amount of the product has been injected.

People with known hypersensitivity to amoxicillin should handle the product with caution.
