Amoxicillin Clavulanate (Generic Clavamox)

  PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION - RX Required

Amoxicillin Clavulanate, also known as Generic Clavamox, is a broad-spectrum antibiotic commonly used in veterinary medicine to treat a variety of bacterial infections in dogs and cats. This powerful combination of amoxicillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic, and clavulanate potassium, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, works synergistically to combat bacteria that are resistant to amoxicillin alone.

Indications:

• Skin infections (pyoderma, abscesses, wounds)
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Respiratory infections (pneumonia, bronchitis)
• Soft tissue infections

Key Benefits:

• Broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against a wide range of bacterial infections
• Combines amoxicillin with clavulanate to enhance effectiveness against resistant bacteria
• Convenient dosing options to ensure proper treatment

Dosage Information:

• Dogs and Cats: The typical dosage is 6.25 mg per pound (1 tablet per 10 lbs) of body weight every 12 hours.
• Duration: Administer for 5-7 days or as prescribed by your veterinarian. Ensure the full course of antibiotics is completed, even if your pet shows signs of improvement, to prevent antibiotic resistance.

How to Administer:

Administer orally with or without food. If gastrointestinal upset occurs, giving the medication with food may help.

Precautions:

• Not for use in animals with a known allergy to penicillins or cephalosporins.
• Use with caution in pets with a history of gastrointestinal disease, particularly colitis.
