Cefabactin 50 mg Tablets for Dogs and Cats

None.

Special precautions for use in animals
Due to the likely variability (time, geographical) in the occurrence of cefalexin
resistant bacteria, bacteriological sampling and susceptibility testing are
recommended.
The veterinary medicinal product should only be used based on susceptibility testing
of the bacteria isolated from the animals. If this is not possible, therapy should be
based on local epidemiological information.
Use of the veterinary medicinal product should be in accordance with official, national
and regional antimicrobial policies.
Use of the veterinary medicinal product deviating from the instructions given in the
SPC may increase the prevalence of bacteria resistant to cefalexin and may
decrease the effectiveness of treatment with other beta-lactam antibiotics due to the
potential for cross-resistance.
In case of chronic renal insufficiency the dose should be reduced or the dosage
interval should be increased.
The tablets are flavoured. In order to avoid any accidental ingestion, store tablets out
of reach of the animals.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals
Penicillins and cephalosporins may cause hypersensitivity (allergy) following
injection, inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. Hypersensitivity to penicillin may lead
to cross-reactions to cephalosporin and vice versa. Allergic reactions to these
substances may occasionally be serious. Do not handle this veterinary medicinal
product if you know you are sensitised or if you have been advised not to be in
contact with such substances.
Handle this veterinary medicinal product with great care to avoid exposure, taking all
recommended precautions. If you develop symptoms following exposure such as skin
rash, you should seek medical advice and show the doctor this warning. Swelling of
the face, lips or eyes or difficulty breathing are more serious symptoms and require
urgent medical attention.
To avoid accidental ingestion of the veterinary medicinal product by a child, divided
or unused tablets should be returned to the open blister pocket and placed back in
the outer carton.
In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical advice immediately and show the
package leaflet or the label to the physician.
Wash hands after use
