Special warnings for each target species:

• Sick animals may have reduced water and/or feed intake and consequently, may require parenterally administered medication instead.
• The intake of medicated water depends on the clinical condition of the animals. In order to obtain the correct dosage the concentration of amoxicillin has to be adjusted accordingly;
• When used in feed for the treatment of individual pigs, the product should be mixed with a sufficient quantity of feed to ensure consumption of the entire dose prior to providing the remainder of the daily feed ration;

Special precautions for use in animals:

Official, national and regional antimicrobial policies should be taken into account when the product is used.
Use of the product should be based on susceptibility testing of the bacteria isolated from the animal. If this is not possible, therapy should be based on local (regional, farm level) epidemiological information about susceptibility of the target bacteria;
Use of the product deviating from the instructions given in the SPC may increase the prevalence of bacteria resistant to the amoxicillin and may decrease the effectiveness of the treatment.

Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals:

• Penicillins may cause hypersensitivity (allergy) following injection, inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. Hypersensitivity to penicillins may lead to cross sensitivity to cephalosporins and vice versa;
• Allergic reactions to these substances may occasionally be serious;
• People with known hypersensitivity to beta-lactam antibiotics should avoid handling the product;
• Handle this product with care to avoid exposure, taking all recommended precautions.
• Avoid skin and eye contact as this product may be irritating.
• Do not smoke, eat or drink while handling the product.
• During preparation and administration of the medicated drinking water, skin contact with the product and inhalation of dust particles should be avoided. Wear gloves and an appropriate dust mask (either a disposable half mask respirator conforming to European Standard EN149 or a non-disposable respirator conforming to European Standard EN140 with a filter to EN 143) when mixing and handling the product. Wash hands after use.
• In the event of eye or skin contact, rinse the affected area with large amounts of clean water.
• If you develop symptoms following exposure such as skin rash, you should seek medical advice and show this warning to the physician. Swelling of the face, lips or eyes, or difficulty with breathing are more serious symptoms and require urgent medical attention.

Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay:

The safety of the veterinary medicinal product has not been established during pregnancy and lactation. Laboratory studies in rats and rabbits have not produced any evidence of teratogenic, foetotoxic or maternotoxic effects.
Use only according to the benefit/risk assessment by the responsible veterinarian.

Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness):

Penicillins and cephalosporins may cause hypersensitivity following administration. Allergic reactions to these substances may occasionally be serious.

Interactions of Amatib 80%:

Amoxicillin exerts its bactericidal action by inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis during multiplication. It is therefore in principle not compatible with bacteriostatic antibiotics (e.g. tetracyclines) which inhibit multiplication. Synergism occurs with ß-lactam antibiotics and aminoglycosides.

Withdrawal periods:
