The recommended dose of the product is 10 mg amoxicillin /2.5 mg clavulanic acid per kg body weight twice a day by the oral route in dogs and cats, i.e. 1 tablet per 4 kg body weight every 12 h, according to the following table:
Bodyweight (kg) Number of tablets twice daily
[ 1.0- 2.0 ] ½
[ 2.1- 4.0 ] 1
[ 4.1- 6.0 ] 1 ½
[ 6.1- 8.0 ] 2
In severe infections in each target species, the dose may be doubled to 20 mg amoxicillin/5 mg clavulanic acid/kg body weight twice daily.
Duration of treatment:
- 7 days for the treatment of periodontal infections in dogs.
- 7 days for the treatment of skin infections in cats (including wounds and abscesses). The clinical status of animals should be re-evaluated after 7 days and the treatment prolonged for a further 7 days if necessary. Severe cases of skin infection may require an even longer duration of treatment and this should be at the discretion of the responsible veterinarian.
To ensure the correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid under-dosing.
