Benefits

• Broad-Spectrum Coverage: Combines amoxicillin with clavulanate to target gram-positive, gram-negative, aerobic, and anaerobic bacteria, including resistant common pathogens.
• Beta-Lactamase Protection: Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes, helping amoxicillin remain effective against bacteria that would otherwise inactivate penicillin antibiotics.
• Rapid Absorption: Both components are quickly absorbed after oral dosing, achieving therapeutic concentrations in tissues, urine, and serum for treatment.
• Vet-Directed Use: Prescription formulation supports targeted therapy under veterinary guidance, allowing treatment initiation before culture results while awaiting susceptibility confirmation.
• Multiple Indications: Indicated for skin, soft tissue, periodontal, and certain urinary infections in dogs and cats caused by susceptible organisms.
