Drug Name

Amoxi-Tabs (Amoxicillin)

Drug Uses

Amoxi-Tabs is approved for the treatment of susceptible organisms causing the following infections:

• Respiratory infections (tonsillitis, tracheobronchitis) due to Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus spp, E.coli as well as Proteus mirabilis.
• Genitourinary tract infections (cystitis) due to Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus spp, E.coli as well as Proteus mirabilis.
• Gastrointestinal tract infections (bacterial gastroenteritis) due to Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus spp, E.coli as well as Proteus mirabilis.
• Bacterial dermatitis due to Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus spp as well as Proteus mirabilis.
• Soft-tissue infections (abscesses, lacerations, wounds) due to Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus spp, E.coli as well as Proteus mirabilis.

How Taken

• Dogs: The recommended dosage is 5 mg/lb of body weight twice a day.
• Cats: The recommended dosage is 5 -10 mg/lb once a day.

Dosage should be continued for 5 - 7 days or 48 hours after all symptoms possess subsided. Incase no improvement is seen in 5 days, review diagnosis as well as change therapy.

Drug Class as well as Mechanism

Amoxi-Tabs contain semi-synthetic penicillin with a broad spectrum of antibiotic activity for take in dogs.

Amoxi-Tabs provide bactericidal activity against a expansive range of ordinary gram-positive as well as gram-negative pathogens.

Missed Dose

Incase you miss to give a dose of Amoxi-Tabs, give it as soon as likely. Incase it is almost time for your pet to take the next dose, skip the dose as well as go back to the normal dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.

Amoxi-Tabs contain a semisynthetic penicillin as well as has the potential for producing allergic reactions. Incase an allergic reaction occurs, administer epinephrine and/or steroids.

More Information

Amoxicillin (Amoxi-Tabs) is similar to ampicillin in its bactericidal action against susceptible organisms. It acts through the inhibition of biosynthesis of cell wall mucopeptide. In vitro and/or in vivo studies possess demonstrated the susceptibility of most strains of the following gram-positive as well as gramnegative bacteria: haemolytic streptococci, nonpenicillinase-producing staphylococci, Streptococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, as well as Proteus mirabilis. Because it does not resist destruction by penicillinase, it is not effective against penicillinase-producing bacteria, particularly resistant staphylococci. All strains of Pseudomonas as well as most strains of Klebsiella as well as Enterobacter are resistant.
