Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What infections does BIOMOX treat in dogs?
Ans: BIOMOX is prescribed for dogs with bacterial skin and soft tissue infections. It helps treat issues such as abscesses, wounds, and lacerations caused by bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus species, Escherichia coli, and Proteus mirabilis. Before starting treatment, culture and sensitivity testing should be performed to confirm the bacteria are susceptible to this medication.
Q2: What is the recommended dosage of BIOMOX for dogs?
Ans: The recommended dosage is 5 mg per pound of body weight administered twice daily for 5 to 7 days. Treatment should continue for 48 hours after symptoms subside. If no improvement occurs within five days, the diagnosis should be reconsidered.
Q3: Can BIOMOX be given with food?
Ans: BIOMOX can be given with or without food since amoxicillin remains stable in stomach acid. After it is taken by mouth, the medication is absorbed quickly and spreads throughout the body’s tissues. This helps maintain reliable treatment results when used as directed.
Q4: Are there any known side effects of BIOMOX?
Ans: BIOMOX may cause allergic reactions since amoxicillin is a semisynthetic penicillin. If an allergic reaction occurs, epinephrine and or steroids should be administered promptly. Dogs with a known history of penicillin allergy should not receive this medication.
