The medicated drinking water should be prepared fresh every 12 hours.

In order to ensure a correct dosage, body weight will be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdose or overdose. The consumption of the medicated water depends on the clinical condition of the animals. To obtain a correct dose, the concentration of amoxicillin must be adjusted accordingly.

 

ADVICE ON CORRECT ADMINISTRATION

Water consumption should be monitored in order to ensure correct dosing.

If the water consumption does not correspond to the quantities for which the recommended concentrations have been calculated, the concentration of AMOXICRID 60% must be adjusted so that the animals assimilate the recommended dose, otherwise a high medication must be considered.
