Amoxycillin & Potassium Clavulanate 250 mg Tablet for Dog

Amoxycillin & Potassium Clavulanate 250 mg Tablets are prescription veterinary antibiotics combining a penicillin-class antibiotic with a beta-lactamase inhibitor to provide enhanced antibacterial coverage.

• Respiratory tract infections (bronchitis, pneumonia, tonsillitis)
• Urinary tract infections (cystitis, urethritis)

How This Medicine Works

Amoxycillin

• Penicillin-class antibiotic
