Cladaxxa is a broad-spectrum antibiotic for dogs combining amoxicillin and clavulanic acid in a 4:1 ratio. Clavulanic acid inactivates bacterial beta-lactamases, restoring the bactericidal action of amoxicillin against resistant strains. Indicated for skin and soft tissue infections (pyoderma, abscesses, gingivitis), respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, and enteritis. Prescription only — for use under veterinary supervision.
How to Use
Administer 12.5 mg combined active substances per kg body weight twice daily (10 mg amoxicillin + 2.5 mg clavulanic acid/kg). Give directly or crumbled into food. Standard treatment: 5–7 days. Chronic or refractory cases may require longer treatment at the veterinarian's discretion. Do not use in animals hypersensitive to penicillins or cephalosporins.
