The injection site should be massaged after injection. The recommended dosage rate is 15 mg amoxycillin per kg bodyweight. This is equivalent to 1 ml/10 kg. One repeat administration may be given after 48 hours. The maximum injection volume at any one site is set out in the following table: Cattle | 20 ml | Sheep | 4 ml | Pigs | 5 ml. | Dogs | 2.5 ml. |
Larger dose volumes should be divided and given into separate sites. Use a dry syringe for extraction of suspension to avoid hydrolysis of amoxycilin. An appropriately graduated syringe must be used to allow accurate administration of the required dose volume. This is particularly important when injecting small volumes. Withdrawal periods Animals must not be slaughtered for human consumption during treatment. Cattle may be slaughtered for human consumption only after 21 days from the last treatment. Sheep may be slaughtered for human consumption only after 25 days from the last treatment. Pigs may be slaughtered for human consumption only after 13 days from the last treatment.

As with all penicillins, amoxycillin may cause hypersensitivity and should not be used when an animal is known to be allergic to beta-lactams. As with all antibiotics, Bimoxyl LA should be used with caution during pregnancy and lactation. There is no evidence that the use of amoxycillin presents any particular hazard either to the dam or to the foetus. Tolerance studies at twice the normal recommended dose in the named target species have been carried out with adverse effects observed. Treatment is symptomatic.
