For veterinary oral suspension

For use in dogs and cats

Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.

Amoxi-Drop (amoxicillin for oral suspension), USP is a semisynthetic antibiotic with a broad spectrum of activity. It provides bactericidal activity against a wide range of common gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens. Chemically, it is D(-)-α-amino-p-hydroxybenzyl penicillin trihydrate.

Amoxi-Drop is stable in the presence of gastric acid and may be given without regard to meals. It is rapidly absorbed after oral administration. It diffuses readily into most body tissues and fluids with the exception of brain and spinal fluid, except when meninges are inflamed. Most of the amoxicillin is excreted unchanged in the urine.

Amoxicillin is similar to ampicillin in its bactericidal action against susceptible organisms. It acts through the inhibition of biosynthesis of cell wall mucopeptide. In vitro and/or in vivo studies have demonstrated the susceptibility of most strains of the following gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria: α- and β-haemolytic streptococci, nonpenicillinase-producing staphylococci, Streptococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, and Proteus mirabilis. Because it does not resist destruction by penicillinase, it is not effective against penicillinase-producing bacteria, particularly resistant staphylococci. All strains of Pseudomonas and most strains of Klebsiella and Enterobacter are resistant.

The use of this drug is contraindicated in animals with a history of an allergic reaction to penicillin.

For use in dogs and cats only. Not for use in animals which are raised for food production.

Amoxicillin is a semisynthetic penicillin and has the potential for producing allergic reactions. If an allergic reaction occurs, administer epinephrine and/or steroids.

Amoxi-Drop is supplied in 15-mL bottles containing 0.75 g and 30-mL bottles containing 1.5 g of amoxicillin activity. When reconstituted with required amount of water, each mL contains 50 mg of amoxicillin as the trihydrate.

Approved by FDA under NADA # 055-085
