FAQs - Albon Tablets for Bacterial and Protozoal infections

What is Albon Tablet used for?

Albon Tablet is used to treat bacterial and protozoal infections in dogs and cats, including respiratory infections, gastrointestinal infections, urinary tract infections, and coccidiosis. It inhibits the growth of bacteria and protozoa, allowing the immune system to clear the infection effectively.

Can Albon Tablet be used for animals other than dogs and cats?

Albon Tablet is mainly prescribed for dogs and cats, but some veterinarians may use it for other small animals under strict supervision. Always consult your vet before using it for any animal outside the intended species, as different animals may react differently.

How long does it take for Albon Tablet to show results?

Albon Tablet generally begins to work within a few hours, though noticeable improvement in symptoms can take a few days. The duration varies depending on infection severity, but Albon is effective for most bacterial infections within a standard treatment period.

Can Albon Tablet be safely combined with other medications?

Albon Tablet can sometimes be combined with other medications, but potential interactions can occur. It’s essential to inform your veterinarian about any other medications or supplements your pet is taking to avoid any adverse reactions or reduced effectiveness.

Is Albon Tablet safe for long-term use in pets?

Albon Tablet is typically prescribed for short-term use until the infection clears. Extended use can increase the risk of side effects like dry eye or urinary crystals. Always follow your vet’s guidance on the duration of treatment to minimize potential risks.

Does my pet need a special diet or hydration while on Albon Tablet?

While on Albon Tablet, ensure your pet has constant access to fresh water, as the medication can increase thirst and urination. Generally, no special diet is required unless advised by your veterinarian based on your pet’s specific health needs.

Can Albon Tablet cause any behavioral changes in pets?

Occasionally, pets may show behavioral changes like reduced activity or lethargy if they’re not feeling well due to the infection or side effects. If symptoms persist or worsen, contact your vet, as they may indicate an adverse reaction to the medication.

How can I tell if Albon Tablet isn’t working for my pet?

If there’s no improvement in your pet’s symptoms within a few days, or if symptoms worsen, Albon Tablet may not be fully addressing the infection. In such cases, consult your veterinarian to discuss alternative treatments.

Should I stop giving Albon Tablet once my pet feels better?

No, continue administering Albon Tablet for the full prescribed course, even if your pet appears better. Stopping early may allow bacteria to survive, potentially leading to a return of the infection and antibiotic resistance.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Albon Tablet?

If you miss a dose, administer it as soon as you remember. If it’s close to the time for the next dose, skip the missed one and continue as usual. Do not double up on doses, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
