and lower respiratory tract; enteritis; dental infections (e.g. gingivitis); soft tissue
infections (e.g. abscesses and anal sacculitis).

The products are effective against Klebsiella infections found in veterinary
practice, but are not indicated for cases involving Pseudomonas species.
The majority of routine cases respond to between 5 and 7 days therapy. In
chronic or refractory cases, a longer course of therapy may be required e.g.
chronic skin disease 10 – 20 days, chronic cystitis 10 – 28 days, respiratory
disease 8 – 10 days.
Refractory cases particularly of the respiratory tract, have shown improved cure
rates by doubling the dose to 25 mg/kg bodyweight twice daily.

This product should not be given to rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters or gerbils.
Caution is advised in their use in any other very small herbivores.

This product is not indicated for cases involving Pseudomonas spp.
Use of the product deviating from the instructions given in the SPC may
increase the prevalence of bacteria resistant to penicillins and may
decrease the effectiveness of treatment with other antimicrobials or
classes of antimicrobials due to the potential for cross-resistance
ii) 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 penicillins may lead to cross-reactions to
