(Dose volume is equivalent to 1 ml per 10 kg bodyweight).
If dose volume exceeds 20 ml, it should be divided and injected into two sites.
As with other injectable preparations, normal aseptic precautions should be observed. (Use dry syringe for extraction of suspension to avoid hydrolysis of amoxycillin). Massage the injection site.
An appropriately graduated syringe must be used to allow accurate administration of the required dose volume. This is particularly important when injecting small volumes.
