As a guide this is equivalent to 0.25 ml per 5 kg daily.
Shake the vial well to suspend the active ingredient before use. Swab the rubber septum and remove the required volume aseptically.
Massage the injection site after administration. Use a new anatomical site for repeated injections. To ensure the correct dosage, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid overdosing.
In common with other penicillin preparations hydrolysis takes place rapidly in the presence of water. It is important, therefore, that a dry syringe is used when extracting suspension for injection to avoid contaminating the remaining contents of the vial with drops of water.
