Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON REFUNDABLE Amoxi-Tabs Aminopenicillins, also called broadspectrum or ampicillin penicillins are used for the treatment of susceptible bacterial infections such as bite wounds, and bladder, upper respiratory, and oral infections in multiple species including dogs, cats, ferrets, and birds. They are generally not effective against Staphylococcal infections. Do NOT use ampicillin or amoxicillin in rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, or hamsters since it will affect the normal bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract and possibly cause a fatal diarrhea. Dose and Administration: Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your veterinarian. If you have difficulty giving the medication, contact your veterinarian. Ampicillin: For best absorption of ampicillin, give 1 hour prior to feeding or 2 hours after feeding. May be given with food if necessary to decrease side effects, such as vomiting. Amoxicillin: Oral amoxicillin is better absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract than ampicillin. Amoxicillin may be given with food. Reconstituted oral suspensions should be refrigerated and the remainder discarded in 14 days. Shake well before use. Ampicillin and amoxicillin must be given for at least 7-10 days for effectiveness; if given less than that, infections are likely to recur or become worse. Follow your veterinarian's recommendations and use all of the medication prescribed. If you miss a dose, give it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to the regular schedule. Do not give 2 doses at once. This medication should only be given to the pet for whom it was prescribed. Possible Side Effects: May see lack of appetite, drooling, vomiting, or diarrhea.
