PRECAUTIONS: Until adequate reproductive studies are accomplished, Biomox® (amoxicillin) tablets should not be used in pregnant or breeding animals. Klebsiella and all strains of Pseudomonas are resitant.

Amoxicillin may be given without regard to meals because it is stable in gastric acid. It is rapidly absorbed following oral administration and digguses readily into most body fluids and tissues. It diffuses poorly into the brain and spinal fluid except when the meninges are inflamed. Most of the amoxicillin is excreted in the urine unchanged.

CAUTION: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.
