Tablets can be divided into 2 or 4 equal parts to ensure accurate dosage.
The minimum treatment duration is 5 days with the majority of routine cases
responding after 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.
In such circumstances overall treatment length is at the clinician's discretion, but
should be long enough to ensure complete resolution of the bacterial disease.

antimicrobials of the β-lactam group or to any of the excipients.
Do not use in animals with serious dysfunction of the kidneys accompanied by anuria

antibiotics. Use of the product should be carefully considered when susceptibility
testing has shown resistance to antibiotics because its effectiveness may be
reduced.
Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Use of the product should be based on identification and susceptibility testing of the
target pathogen(s). If this is not possible, therapy should be based on epidemiological
information and knowledge of susceptibility of the target pathogens at local/regional
level. Use of the product should be in accordance with official, national and regional
antimicrobial policies.
An antibiotic with a lower risk of antimicrobial resistance selection (lower AMEG
category) should be used for first line treatment where susceptibility testing suggests
the likely efficacy of this approach.
Narrow spectrum antibiotic therapy with a lower risk of antimicrobial resistance
selection should be used for first line treatment where susceptibility testing suggests
the likely efficacy of this approach.
Caution is advised when using the product in small herbivores, other than those
which have been contraindicated in section 3.3.
In animals with hepatic and renal dysfunction, the dosing regimen should be carefully
evaluated.
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-
reaction to cephalosporins and
occasionally be serious.
Do not handle this product if you know you are sensitised, or if you have been advised
not to work with such preparations.
Handle this product with great care to avoid exposure, taking all recommended
precautions.
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.
Wash hands after use.
To avoid accidental ingestion, particularly by a child, unused part-tablets should be
returned to the open blister space, inserted back into the outer packaging and kept in
a safe place out of the sight and reach of children.
