Nisamox 50 mg Tablets
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
FOR ANIMAL TREATMENT ONLY
Do not use in rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters or gerbils. Caution is advised in the use in any other very small herbivores. Do not use in animals with known hypersensitivity to penicillin or other substances of the beta-lactam group. Do not use in animals with serious dysfunction of the kidneys accompanied by anuria and oliguria. Do not use where resistance to this combination is known to occur. Hypersensitivity reactions unrelated to dose can occur with these agents. Allergic reactions (e.g. skin reactions, anaphylaxia) may occasionally occur. In case of allergic reaction, the treatment should be withdrawn. Gastro-intestinal symptoms (diarrhoea, vomiting) may occur after administration. In animals with hepatic and renal failure, the dosing regime should be carefully evaluated. Dogs and cats diagnosed with Pseudomonas infections should not be treated with this antibiotic combination. Do not administer to horses and ruminating animals. Use during pregnancy and lactation: Use only according to the benefit/risk assessment by the responsible veterinarian. Chloramphenicol, macrolides, sulfonamides and tetracyclines may inhibit the antibacterial effect of penicillins because of the rapid onset of bacteriostatic action. The potential for allergic cross-reactivity with other penicillins should be considered. Penicillins may increase the effect of aminoglycosides.
Withdrawal period: Not applicable.
Operator warnings: Penicillins and cephalosporins may cause hypersensitivity (allergy) following injection, inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. Hypersensitivity to penicillins may lead to cross-reactions to cephalosporins and vice versa. Allergic reactions to these substances may occasionally be serious. Do not handle this product if you know you are sensitised, or if you have been advised not to work with such preparations. Handle this product 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.
