Amoxi-Tabs for Dogs & Cats - 100-mg, 500 tablets - [Infections Treatment]

Amoxi-Tabs are used for the treatment of susceptible bacterial infections such as bite wounds, and bladder, upper respiratory, and oral infections in multiple species including dogs, cats, ferrets, and birds. They are generally not effective against Staphylococcal infections. Do NOT use ampicillin or amoxicillin in rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, or hamsters since it will affect the normal bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract and possibly cause a fatal diarrhea.

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-Tabs 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
