Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Inappropriate use of the product may increase the prevalence of bacteria resistant to
amoxicillin/clavulanic acid.
In animals with hepatic and renal failure, the dosing regimen should be carefully evaluated.
Use of the product should be based on susceptibility testing and take into account official
and local antimicrobial policies. Narrow spectrum antibacterial therapy should be used for
first line treatment where susceptibility testing suggests likely efficacy of this approach.
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 cephalosporins and vice
versa. Allergic reactions to these substances may 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.

Special precautions for the protection of the environment:
Not applicable.
Chloramphenicol, macrolides, sulfonamides and tetracyclines may inhibit the antibacterial
effect of penicillins because of the rapid onset of bacteriostatic action.
The potential for allergic cross-reactivity with other penicillins should be considered.
Penicillins may increase the effect of aminoglycosides.
Do not store above 25ºC.
Store in a dry place.
Divided tablets should be stored in the blister pack.
