Amoxicillin works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. Bacteria need cell walls to survive and protect themselves. By inhibiting the synthesis of these cell walls, amoxicillin weakens the bacteria, making them more susceptible to the body's immune system and ultimately leading to their death. Amoxicillin is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, making it a versatile antibiotic for treating bacterial infections in dogs and cats.
Dogs: Amoxi-Tabs are indicated in the treatment of susceptible strains of the organisms causing the following infections: Respiratory tract infections (tonsillitis, tracheobronchitis) due to Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus spp., E. coli, and Proteus mirabilis. Genitourinary tract infections (cystitis) due to Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus spp., E. coli, and Proteus mirabilis. Gastrointestinal tract infections (bacterial gastroenteritis) due to Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus spp., E. coli, and Proteus mirabilis. Bacterial dermatitis due to Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus spp., and Proteus mirabilis. Soft tissue infections (abscesses, lacerations, and wounds) due to Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus spp., E. coli, and Proteus mirabilis.

This antibiotic for dogs and cats should only be used in cases that are proven to be bacterial infections. It should not be used in animals that are hypersensitive to penicillin and on animals reared for meat as amoxicillin is protein binding in nature. Amoxicillin tablets are contraindicative with certain medications such as Allopurinol and Erythromycin. Capsules are slow dissolving hence it might take some time for the pet to show palpable signs of improvement.
Amoxicillin capsules might set off insulin allergic reactions in some animals, which might have symptoms like rashes, fever, swelling of face or limbs, labored breathing, rapid heartbeat, and imbalance. Over dosage might result in nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain while abnormally high doses can result in acute oliguric renal failure or hematuria. Other side effects when using amoxicillin include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which require urgent medical aid.
Should be stored at room temperature.
