Description

Amoxicillin Tablets are a prescription veterinary antibiotic formulated for the treatment of susceptible bacterial infections in dogs and cats. Containing amoxicillin, a semisynthetic penicillin antibiotic, Amoxicillin Tablets provide broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria commonly encountered in veterinary medicine.

Amoxicillin Tablets are commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, skin infections, and soft tissue infections caused by susceptible organisms. 

The tablets may be administered with or without food and should only be used under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian.

Uses & Benefits

• Broad-spectrum penicillin-class antibiotic
• Treats susceptible bacterial infections in dogs and cats
• Commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections
• Used for urinary tract and bladder infections
• Treats susceptible gastrointestinal bacterial infections
• Used for skin and soft tissue infections, including wounds and abscesses

How It Works

Amoxicillin is a semisynthetic penicillin antibiotic that works by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis. This action causes susceptible bacteria to lose structural integrity, resulting in bacterial death.

Following oral administration, amoxicillin is rapidly absorbed and distributed throughout body tissues and fluids, allowing it to reach many common sites of bacterial infection.

Amoxicillin Tablets are indicated for the treatment of susceptible strains of organisms causing the following infections in dogs and cats:

Dogs

Respiratory tract infections, including tonsillitis and tracheobronchitis
