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.
