What is Amoxicillin?

Therapeutic Class:
Target Species:

Active Ingredients: Amoxicillin

Amoxicillin Soluble Powder is a long-acting antibiotic drug used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in animals such as cows, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry, dogs, and cats. It is indicated for the treatment of skin infections, gastrointestinal tract infections, bone/joint infections, and many other types of infections.

Amoxicillin is a moderate-spectrum, beta-lactam antibiotic. It works by inhibiting cell wall synthesis, which kills the bacteria. It shows bactericidal activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including Streptococci, Staphylococci (non-penicillinase-producing), Bacillus anthracis, Corynebacterium, Clostridium, Brucella, Haemophilus, Pasteurella, Salmonella, Moraxella, E. coli, Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, Fusiformis, Bordetella, Diplococci, Micrococci, and Sphaerophorus necrophorus.

Amoxicillin is well absorbed by the intestinal tract and is a safe, non-toxic option to treat susceptible infections. This form of amoxicillin has been manufactured as a powder for reconstitution. It is intended to be mixed into its diluted form and then administered by a veterinary doctor or animal care specialist.

Amoxicillin is a moderate-spectrum, beta-lactam antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections caused by susceptible microorganisms. It works by inhibiting cell wall synthesis, which kills the bacteria.

When given, amoxicillin is easily distributed in the extracellular fluid in tissues, especially when inflammation is present. The antibiotic is partially excreted in urine and reaches the highest levels in urine.

This form of amoxicillin has been manufactured as a water-soluble powder. It is important to note that this formulation of amoxicillin is for veterinary purposes only. While AdvaCare Pharma offers many similar products that are available for human use, this particular medication should be prescribed by a veterinary doctor or animal care specialist for an animal.

This drug is also available in the form of premix, suspension for injection, and powder for injection. It is also available in combination with Clavulanate Potassium and Sulbactam Sodium.

In pigs, this medicine is prescribed for arthritis and meningitis caused by S. suis and secondary infections due to ear and tail-biting.

What animals can be treated with Amoxicillin Soluble Powder?

This medicine is recommended for cows, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry, dogs and cats.

How is Amoxicillin Soluble Powder used?

This medicine has been manufactured as a water-soluble powder, which is intended to be diluted and administered orally. It is typically added to drinking water. It is advised to withhold drinking water 2 hours before treatment unless the weather is hot. Medicated water should be discarded after use. Make sure to properly prepare this drug. It should be diluted only with clean, drinkable water and should be used as soon as possible.

How can Amoxicillin Soluble Powder help animals?

This drug is especially effective against enterococci and gram-negative bacteria. Also, it is effective against non-beta-lactamase-producing bacteria like Salmonella, E.coli, H.influenzae, Proteus mirabilis, and Shigella spp. It has a broad spectrum against many bacteria and is especially helpful for anaerobic infections that might include:

  • Bite wounds
  • Infected oral cavity
  • Upper respiratory infections
  • Bladder infections

How can Amoxicillin Soluble Powder help in genito-urinary infections?

The main cause for urinary infections in animals is Staphylococci. This antibiotic is effective because the kidney concentrates high amounts of amoxicillin in the urine. This causes lower effects on the bacterial enzymes. In some cases, veterinarians can add clavulanic acid to ensure the effect of this drug against some Staphylococcal infections. It is recommended to perform antibiogram testing before adding this drug.

How can Amoxicillin Soluble Powder help in gastrointestinal infections?

Adding amoxicillin in cases of gastrointestinal infections can improve the animal’s overall health. The symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach upset can be alleviated. If properly treated, the animals can return to their normal appetite and reduce the chances of weight loss and dehydration.

Yes, this antibiotic is one of the most safe drugs for pregnant or lactating animals. It can cross the mother’s placenta, but it is still safe for animals. There are no consequences to fetuses after amoxicillin intake.

How successful is the treatment with Amoxicillin Soluble Powder?

The outcome of the treatment depends on the animals’ current health status, present bacteria, and way of administration. Some health conditions need additional therapy. This might include IV fluids, corticosteroids, and supplements like minerals and vitamins.

Is only Amoxicillin Soluble Powder for Injection enough to treat a disease?

This drug has bactericidal properties and can lead to fast recovery. However, for a full recovery, some supplements and additional therapy might be needed.
