PRESCRIPTION
INDICATIONS: Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets are indicated in the treatment of: Dogs: Skin and soft tissue infections such as wounds, abscesses, cellulitis, superficial/juvenile and deep pyoderma due to susceptible strains of the following organisms: β-lactamase-producing Staphylococcus aureus, non- β-lactamase-producing Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., and E. coli. Periodontal infections due to susceptible strains of both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets have been shown to be clinically effective for treating cases of canine periodontal disease. Cats: Skin and soft tissue infections such as wounds, abscesses, and cellulitis/dermatitis due to susceptible strains of the following organisms: β-lactamase-producing Staphylococcus aureus, non- β-lactamase-producing Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, and Pasteurella spp. Urinary tract infections (cystitis) due to susceptible st

Abbreviated New Animal Drug Application
AMOXICILLIN AND CLAVULANATE POTASSIUM- AMOXICILLIN AND CLAVULANATE POTASSIUM TABLET, COATED COVETRUS ---------- AMOXICILLIN AND CLAVULANATE POTASSIUM TABLETS FOR USE IN DOGS AND CATS CAUTION: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. DESCRIPTION: Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets are an orally administered formulation comprised of the broad-spectrum antibiotic amoxicillin trihydrate and the β- lactamase inhibitor, clavulanate potassium (the potassium salt of clavulanic acid). Amoxicillin trihydrate is a semisynthetic antibiotic with a broad spectrum of bactericidal activity against many gram-positive and gram-negative, aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms. It does not resist destruction by β-lactamases; therefore, it is not effective against β-lactamase producing bacteria. Chemically, it is D (-)-α-amino-p- hydroxybenzyl penicillin trihydrate. Clavulanic acid, an inhibitor of β-lactamase enzymes, is produced by the fermentation of _Streptomyces clavuligerus_. Clavulanic acid by itself has only weak antibacterial activity. Chemically, clavulanate potassium is potassium z-(3R,5R)-2-β-hydroxyethylidene clavam- 3-carboxylate. ACTIONS: Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets are stable in the presence of gastric acid and are not significantly influenced by gastric or intestinal contents. The 2 components are rapidly absorbed resulting in amoxicillin and clavulanic acid concentrations in serum, urine, and tissues similar to those produced when each is administered alone. Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid diffuse readily into most body tissues and fluids with the exception of brain and spinal fluid, which amoxicillin penetrates adequately when meninges are inflamed. Most of the amoxicillin is excreted unchanged in the urine. Clavulanic acid’s penetration into spinal fluid is unknown at this time. Approximately 15% of the administered dose of clavulanic acid is excreted in the urine within the first 6 hours. Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets 阅读完整的文件
