Usage and guidelines

At 500 mg per tablet, this is the highest concentration in the range, useful for large dogs; the veterinarian determines the number of tablets and the number of days. Completing the course of treatment is as important as taking the correct dose. The package insert does not specify a single regimen: it depends on the dog's weight and the type of infection.

Frequently asked questions

What does Clavaseptin 500mg 100 tablets offer compared to lower concentrations?

Fewer tablets per dose for large dogs. In cats, the manufacturer cites skin infections, including wounds and abscesses, although a cat's dose is adjusted to a different strength.

What should I do if I have an allergic reaction?

Stop administration and go to the veterinarian: allergic skin reactions and, rarely, anaphylaxis may occur.

Does it cover all bacteria?

No. There is resistance, especially in Pseudomonadaceae and Enterobacter spp. That's why it's important for the veterinarian to choose the appropriate antibiotic.

How long does treatment take?

The product information leaflet does not specify a number of days. This is determined by the veterinarian based on the infection.

Can it be used on rabbits or rodents?

No. It should not be given to gerbils, guinea pigs, hamsters or rabbits, and should be used with caution in other small herbivores.
