Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic used to treat various infections caused by susceptible strains of bacteria. Amoxicillin is sold per capsule or per tablet and requires a prescription from your veterinarian.
Amoxicillin kills bacteria by preventing them from building a proper cell wall while they grow. It accomplishes this by inhibiting the linking of peptidoglycan chains that are a major component in both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria’s cell walls.
Amoxicillin is a penicillin class antibacterial indicated for terament of infections due to susceptible strains of designated miroorganisms.
To reduce the development of drug resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness amoxicillin should be used only to treat ingections that are proven or strongly suspected to be cause by bacteria.
Tip: Contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet develops severe or bloody diarrhea. Give all of the amoxicillin that is prescribed for your pet. Symptoms may begin to improve before the infection is completely treated.
