Do not use this product in cases of known hypersensitivity to benzylpenicillin, or to treat diseases caused by beta-lactamase- producing staphylococci. Do not use it by intrathecal injection. Do not administer it to horses by intramuscular injection because it causes local irritation.
Penicillins may cause hypersensitivity (allergy) following injection, inhalation, ingestion or contact with the skin. Hypersensitivity to penicillins may lead to cross-reactions to cephalosporins and vice versa. Allergic reactions to these substances may occasionally be serious. Avoid contact with the skin if you know you are sensitized to penicillins or cephalosporins. If you develop a skin rash following exposure to the product, seek medical advice and show the pack or leaflet to the physician. Swelling of the face, lips or eyes or difficulty in breathing are more serious, and require urgent medical attention.
This product may cause eye irritation: avoid contact with the eyes. In the event of eye contact, rinse the eye with copious clean water.
Geepenil is not authorized for use in horses intended for human consumption.
