Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals: Penicillins and cephalosporins may cause hypersensitivity following injection, inhalation, ingestion or skin contact.
Hypersensitivity to penicillins may lead to cross sensitivity to cephalosporins and vice versa. Allergic reactions to these substances may occasionally be serious.
