What is Clavet-250?
Clavet-250 containing the active ingredients amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium is a broad spectrum combination antibiotics type of medication. The medication works by inhibiting the cell walls of bacteria from properly building up, which will prevent gram positive and gram negative bacteria from growing and eventually die. It can be used to treat urinary tract infections, pyodermas as well as skin or soft tissue infections such as wounds, abscesses and cellulitis.
How is Clavet-250 used?
Clavet-250 is usually given to the pet orally twice daily or as directed by a veterinarian. The tablets can be fed directly to the pet or hidden in their food for self consumption. Contact a veterinarian for the correct dosage and length of treatment as it will depend on the pet's weight, condition and their response to the therapy. Always finish the prescribed dosage as prematurely discontinuing the treatment may allow the infection to return and become immune to the antibiotics.
Adverse effects
Clavet-250 is generally safe to use but the pet may encounter minor side effects such as:
- Decreased appetite
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Breathing problems
- Stomach irritation
- Nausea
Contact a veterinarian immediately should side effects persist or worsen.
