Indications

It is indicated for infections caused by susceptible organisms of the digestive, urogenital, and respiratory tracts, and of the skin and soft tissues, and for bacterial complications susceptible to amoxicillin. The spectrum includes Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Clostridium) and Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli, Pasteurella, Klebsiella, Salmonella, Proteus mirabilis), as well as Leptospira, including penicillinase-producing strains. It is not indicated for Pseudomonas infections.

Format and composition

• Amoxicillin (trihydrate) 14 g and clavulanic acid 3,5 g per 100 ml.
• Excipients: phenol and fractionated coconut oil.
• 100 ml bottle; there is also a 40 ml bottle.

Usage and guidelines

The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the species, weight, and the stage of infection, and are determined by the veterinarian, who administers the product. Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid are rapidly distributed to the muscles, liver, kidneys, and intestines and are primarily eliminated through urine. Amoxicillin is minimally absorbed into the brain unless the meninges are inflamed.
