Why would fish antibiotics be better for humans that say sheep or cow antibiotics if both are given according to weight of person taking them? Pam

Fish antibiotics are virtually the same as those for human use, but livestock antibiotics contain a suspension ingredient, especially in combiotic and the other injectables, which can cause blood clotting in humans due to its gelatinous nature. Not worth the risk, when fish antibiotics even come in the same dosages often prescribed for humans in implements of 250 mg. tablets or capsules.
