Special warnings for each target species Not effective against Beta-lactamase producing organisms. Special precautions for use Precautions for use in animals Routine aseptic precautions should be taken. 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 preparation 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. Adverse reactions As with all penicillins, amoxicillin may cause hypersensitivity (allergy) and should not be used when an animal is known to be allergic to beta-lactams. Occasional local reaction of a transient nature may occur at the site of injection. Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay As with all other antibiotics, Bimoxyl LA should be used with caution during pregnancy and lactation. There is no evidence that the use of amoxicillin presents any particular hazard either to the dam or to the foetus. Interactions Bimoxyl LA is unlikely to interact significantly with any other drugs commonly administered to animals. It is not recommended to administer bactericidal and bacteriostatic antibiotics concomitantly.
