Amoxinsol 100 w/w powder for oral solution
Dosage and administration
The product is administered in the drinking water. Prepare the solution with fresh tap water immediately before use. Once opened, use the contents of one sachet immediately. Any unused medicated water should be discarded after 12 hours.
In order to ensure consumption of the medicated water, animals should not have access to other water supplies whilst being treated.
The following formula may be used to calculate the amount of product required per day (in grams):
Number of birds x average live weight (kg)
50 (for 20 mg/kg) or 66 (for 15 mg/kg)
To ensure a correct dosage, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing. The uptake of medicated water depends on the clinical condition of the birds. In order to obtain the correct dosage the concentration of amoxicillin has to be adjusted taking into account water intake.
Chickens
The recommended dosage is 15 mg amoxicillin trihydrate per kg bodyweight.
The total period of treatment should be for 3 consecutive days or in severe cases for 5 consecutive days.
Ducks
Recommended dosage is 20 mg amoxicillin trihydrate/kg bodyweight for 3 consecutive days.
Turkeys
Recommended dosage is 15-20 mg amoxicillin trihydrate/kg bodyweight for 3 consecutive days or in severe cases for 5 consecutive days.
