Therios 75 mg Chewable Tablets for Cats

Cross-resistance has been shown between cefalexin and other substance from the β-
lactam group in target pathogens. Use of the product should be carefully considered
when susceptibility testing has shown resistance to antimicrobials of the β-lactam group
because its effectiveness may be reduced.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
As with other antibiotics which are excreted mainly by the kidneys, systemic
accumulation may occur when renal function is impaired. In cases of known renal
insufficiency, the dose should be reduced and/or the interval of administration increased
and nephrotoxic drugs should not be administered concurrently.
This veterinary medicinal product should not be used to treat kittens less than 9 weeks
of age.
Use of the veterinary medicinal product in cats weighing less than 2.5 kg should be in
accordance with the benefit/risk assessment performed by the responsible veterinarian.
The chewable tablets are flavoured. In order to avoid any accidental ingestion, store
tablets out of reach of the animals.
Use of the product should be based on identification and susceptibility testing of the
target pathogens. 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.
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.
•
sensitised, or if you have been advised not to be in contact with such
substances.
•
taking all recommended precautions. Wash hands after use.
•
seek medical advice and show the doctor this warning. Swelling of the
face, lips or eyes or difficulty in breathing are more serious symptoms and
require urgent medical attention.
•
package leaflet or the label to the doctor.
