Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Administration of amprolium (particularly in turkeys) may cause thiamine deficiency.
The product should not be combined with iron solutions.
Avoid administering the drug in combination with plants with a large content of thiaminase as its excess causes decomposition of vitamin B.
Overdose (symptoms, procedures concerning immediate help and antidotes):
Acute poisonings occur in animals only when the recommended dose is exceeded many times. Convulsions, cyanosis, breathing difficulties and lower blood pressure occur. Symptoms of chronic poisoning do not occur as vitamin B1 is well soluble in water and is not accumulated in the body because its excess is excreted in urine.
Thiamine overdose effects are not observed in clinical practice. Even if the recommended doses are exceeded, no medical intervention is necessary.
Pharmaceutical incompatibilities:
Sulphites found in drinking water may cause decomposition of vitamin B1.
The product should not be administered with neutral or alkaline solutions as these might cause decomposition of thiamine.
Since no conformity studies of this veterinary medicinal product have been conducted, this product must not be combined with other medicinal veterinary products.
