bodyweight) daily for 3-5 days. Shake the vial well before use. After injection,
massage the injection site. This veterinary medicinal 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.

Do not administer to rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters or gerbils. Caution is
advised in its use in other very small herbivores.

Reporting adverse events is important. It allows continuous safety monitoring
of a veterinary medicinal product. Reports should be sent, preferably via a
veterinarian, to either the marketing authorisation holder or the national
competent authority via the national reporting system. See the immediate
packaging for respective contact details.

Cross-resistance has been shown between amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and
other beta-lactam antibiotics. Use of the veterinary medicinal product should
be carefully considered when susceptibility testing has shown resistance to
beta-lactam antibiotics because its effectiveness may be reduced.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to penicillin or other substances of the
beta-lactam group.
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 farm level, or 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.

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 veterinary medicinal product if you know you are
sensitised, or if you have been advised not to work with such preparations.
Handle this veterinary medicinal 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 package leaflet or the label to the
physician. 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:
