Beta-lactam antibiotic + beta-lactamase inhibitor (clavulanate potassium). Amoxicillin activity and spectrum are as described for amoxicillin. Clavulanate has no antibacterial effects alone, but it is a strong inhibitor of the beta-lactamase enzyme that causes resistance among gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

and soft tissue infections, UTIs, wound infections, and respiratory infections.
Adverse Reactions and Side Effects
It is usually well tolerated. Allergic reactions are possible. Diarrhea is common
with oral doses and has also caused vomiting in some animals.

Dogs
• 12.5-25 mg/kg q12h PO. (Dose is based on combined ingredients: amoxicillin
and clavulanate.)
Cats
• 62.5 mg/cat q12h PO. Consider administering these doses every 8 hours for
gram-negative infections.
