Amoxicillin/Potassium Clavulante treats dogs and cats suffering urinary tract, skin, and soft tissue infections caused by susceptible organisms. It also corrects canine periodontal disease stemming from susceptible strains of bacteria.
Indicated for wounds, abscesses, and cellulitis/dermatitis due to susceptible strains of the following organisms: β-lactamase-producing Staphylococcus aureus, non-ßeta-lactamase-producing Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Pasteurella multocida, and Pasteurella spp. as well as urinary tract infections (cystitis) due to susceptible strains of E. coli.
Storage / Stability:
Potassium clavulante is moisture-sensitive, so it should be stored in air-tight containers at less than 24°C (75°F).
Reconstituted oral suspensions are stable for 10 days if refrigerated and for 48 hours if kept at room temperature. Solution should be reconstituted by adding water and shaking as directed on the label. Discard unused solution correctly after the suggested time periods (above).
Administration:
Can be given alone or with food; however, animals prone to gastrointestinal distress may do better with food.
Administer the medication for the duration prescribed by your veterinarian - even if your animal appears better before that time.

Disposal of Unused Prescription Medications
- Return unwanted or unused medications to Revival Animal Health in person, or visit www.disposemymeds.org to find a pharmacy near you.
- A secondary method of drug disposal is to remove the unwanted medication from any wrappers or containers and place it in a plastic bag with moist coffee grounds or cat litter. This can be disposed of in the regular garbage collection.
- Please do NOT dispose of unwanted meds down the drain or toilet, as this may eventually find its way into the human water supply.

Disposal of Medical Sharps
- When you're finished with the syringe and needle, do not try to recap, remove, bend or break the needle. This is where most injuries occur.
- Dispose the syringe and needle immediately in a nearby sharps container. All sharps must be deposited in a puncture-proof container. Make sure your storage location is child and animal proof.
- As with all product handling, make sure you wash your hands after handling medical sharps.
Disposal of Sharps Container
- When your sharps container is half-full, sift dry Portland Cement throughout the sharps. Fill the container with water, and rotate until the cement is mixed and the sharps have been distributed throughout the cement mixture. Let cement dry for 24 hours.
- Seal the lid of the container tightly and use duct tape to seal. Label the container "Livestock Sharps" to properly identify the contents.
- Dispose of the containers in accordance with your state's regulations.
