Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after handling amoxicillin, even if you’re wearing gloves. This prevents accidental ingestion or contamination.
Store amoxicillin in its original container, tightly closed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Ideal temperatures range between 59°F and 86°F (15°C and 30°C).
Keep amoxicillin out of reach of children and pets, including cats. Accidental ingestion can be dangerous.
Check the expiration date before each use and discard any expired medication properly. Consult your local waste disposal guidelines for proper disposal of unused medications.
Never use amoxicillin intended for fish on cats. Fish and cat medications have different formulations and dosages that can be harmful if misused.
If you suspect your cat ingested amoxicillin, contact your veterinarian immediately. Describe the medication and the amount ingested for accurate guidance.
Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions for administering any medication, including amoxicillin. Incorrect dosage can negatively impact treatment.
