The product is indicated for intramuscular administration to cattle and
subcutaneous administration to dogs.
The recommended dosage rate is 8.75 mg/kg bodyweight (1 ml per 20 kg
bodyweight) daily for 3-5 days. Shake the vial well before use. After
injection, massage the injection site. This product does not contain an
antimicrobial preservative. Use a completely dry sterile needle and syringe.
Swab the septum before removing each dose.
Care should be taken to avoid contaminating the remaining contents of a vial
with water. Clavulanic acid is moisture sensitive. It is very important
therefore, that a completely dry needle and syringe is used when extracting
suspension for injection in order to avoid contaminating the remaining
contents of the vial with drops of water. Contamination will result in obvious
beads of dark, brown discolouration corresponding to the introduced water
droplets. Material affected in this way should not be used as it may have
significantly reduced potency.

The product should not be administered to rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters or
gerbils. Caution is advised in its use in other very small herbivores.

Use of the product may occasionally result in pain on injection and/or local
tissue reaction.

None.
