DOSAGE

By intramuscular injection at a dosage rate of 8.75mg/kg bodyweight [7mg/kg bodyweight amoxicillin and 1.75mg/kg/bodyweight of clavulanic acid] (1ml per 20kg bodyweight) once daily for 3-5 days.

The product is well tolerated up to 2 times the recommended dose administered for up to 5 days.

Studies in cattle at the normal dose rate and twice the normal dose rate have shown transient and dose dependent muscle damage at the injection site resulting in increased Creatine kinase and Aspartate Aminotransferase levels. Injection site reactions tended to be dose dependent and were fully resolved by 2 weeks after administration to the leg and rump and 4 days after administration to the neck even at twice the recommended dose rate. No other clinically significant abnormalities were detected.
