Description
Amoxi-Drops is an oral suspension prescribed to dogs and cats for the treatment of certain strains of organisms that cause respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal tract infections, skin infections and soft-tissue infections including bacterial dermatitis, abscesses, lacerations, and wounds. Amoxi-Drops are rapidly absorbed and diffuse into body tissue and body fluid soon after administration. This medication is also available in tablet form for dogs and cats called Amoxi-Tabs.
Key Benefits
- Broad spectrum of activity against a wide range of common Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens.
- Rapidly absorbed and diffused into most body tissue and fluids following oral administration.
- May be given without regard to meals.
- Little or no settling after resuspension of AMOXI DROPS makes dosing accurate and consistent.
- Maximum dosing flexibility:
- Color-coded to make correct dosing easier
- Film-coated with no bitter taste
- Does not dissolve quickly, making “spit-outs” easier to re-administer and increasing compliance
