    About this item
    DESCRIPTION:

    Dicloxacillin Sodium is a potent, broad-spectrum antibiotic from the penicillin class. It combats bacterial infections, and the capsules are easy to administer.

    Key Benefits:

  • Dicloxacillin works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria.
  • It inhibits the synthesis of protein, and it alters the permeability of cytoplasmic membranes to susceptible organisms, combating bacterial and microbial infections.

    Formulated For: Intended for cats and dogs.

    How is Medication Given? Follow your veterinarian's directions when using this product.

    What Results Can I Expect: Dicloxacillin is an easy-to-administer capsule that treats bacterial infections.

    What Form Does Medication Come In? Capsules

    Dose and Administration: Capsules are sold individually in strengths of 250 or 500 mg.

    Possible Side Effects: Penicillin is associated with (generally) non-severe reactions with relatively low recurrence risk. Hypersensitivity is also possible, with signs to include:

  • Rash
  • Fever
  • Seizures
  • Anemia
  • Anaphylaxis

    Orally-administered Penicillin can also cause certain gastrointestinal effects, including:

  • Diarrhea (and potential colon superinfection due to altered gut flora)
  • Anorexia
  • Vomiting

    Precautions:

  • Keep away from children and animals.
  • This product should only be used to treat bacterial infections. It does not treat viral infections, such as the common cold.
  • Directions should be strictly followed to treat bacterial infections.
  • Missing a dose or not completing the full therapy course may decrease product efficacy. This increases the odds of bacterial resistance, which means that the bacteria are no longer susceptible to this medication or any other antibacterials.

    Storage Recommendations: Store in a cool and dry environment between temperatures of 20 to 25 degrees C (68 to 77 degrees F).

    In Case of Overdose: Contact the nearest emergency pet clinic.
