Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON-REFUNDABLE. - CAUTIONS/WARNINGS:Precautions and Side Effects While generally safe and effective when prescribed by a veterinarian, cefazolin can cause side effects in some animals. Cefazolin should not be used in animals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to the drug. If a pet is already sensitive to allergy or vomiting from other cephalosporin drugs (cefadroxil) or penicillins (amoxicillin, ampicillin), cross-reaction with cefazolin is possible. Cefazolin may interact with other medications. Consult with your veterinarian to determine if other drugs your pet is receiving could interact with cefazolin. Such drugs include certain other antibiotics. The most common side effect in animals is vomiting shortly after administration. It is usually not a sign of serious disease, but indicates that the pet is sensitive to this drug. It is not unusual for some animals to develop diarrhea from orally administered antibiotics such as cefazolin. However, this has not been a common complaint with cefazolin. - DIRECTIONS:Dosing Information Medication should never be administered without first consulting your veterinarian. The usual dose is 5 to 15 mg per pound (10 to 30 mg/kg) every 6 to 8 hours intramuscular or intravenous. - HEIGHT(INCHES): 1.000 - WIDTH(INCHES):1.000 - LENGTH(INCHES):1.000
