Not to be administered to animals known to be sensitive to penicillin

Operator warnings
Penicillins and cephalosporins may cause sensitisation following injection, inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. Sensitivity to penicillins may lead to cross sensitivity to cephalosporins and vice versa.
Allergic reactions to these substances may occasionally be serious.

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.
Wash hands after use.
Drug interactions
Ampicare is unlikely to interact significantly with any of the other drugs commonly administered to dogs. It is not recommended to administer bacteriocidal and bacteriostatic antibiotics concomitantly.
