Clinical information

Amoxinsol 100% w/w Powder for Oral Solution — SPC Details

Source: VMD Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC). Last updated 26 Mar 2026.

Treatment of infections in chickens, turkeys and ducks caused by bacteria
susceptible to amoxicillin.
Not effective against beta-lactamase producing organisms.

Use of the product should be based on susceptibility testing and it should take into
account official and local antimicrobial policies.

The product is administered in the drinking water. Prepare the solution with fresh
tap water immediately before use. Once opened, use the contents of one sachet
immediately. Any unused medicated water should be discarded after 12 hours.
In order to ensure consumption of the medicated water, animals should not have
access to other water supplies whilst being treated.
The following formula may be used to calculate the amount of product required
per day (in grams):
Number of birds x average live weight (kg)
50 (for 20 mg/kg) or 66 (for 15 mg/kg)
To ensure a correct dosage, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as
possible to avoid underdosing. The uptake of medicated water depends on the
clinical condition of the birds. In order to obtain the correct dosage the
concentration of amoxicillin has to be adjusted taking into account water intake.
Chickens
The recommended dosage is 15 mg amoxicillin trihydrate per kg bodyweight.
The total period of treatment should be for 3 consecutive days or in severe cases
for 5 consecutive days.
