Amoxi-Drop® should be given orally as directed by your veterinarian. Shake well prior to giving each dose. Give the complete course of therapy, even if your pet seems better. Missing doses or stopping therapy early may result in treatment failure.

Amoxi-Drop® must be reconstituted with water. To reconstitute add 23 ml of water to the bottle and shake vigorously. Once water is added to the bottle this product is only good for 14 days.  Do not add water to this medication until you are ready to give it to your pet. Refrigeration is recommended after reconstitution, but  not required.  Any unused suspension must be discarded 14 days after reconstitution.

Give the dose as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose, and continue with the regular schedule. Do not give 2 doses at once.

Side effects may include vomiting, lack of appetite, and diarrhea. These symptoms may go away during treatment. If these symptoms continue, contact your veterinarian. The following reactions are rare, but if the pet experiences an allergic reaction such as irregular breathing, rash, fever, puffiness and swelling around the face contact your veterinarian immediately.

Other side effects may occur. If you notice anything unusual, contact your veterinarian.

The following drugs can potentially interact with amoxicillin: chloramphenicol, erythromycin, tetracycline, aminoglycosides, cephalosporins and probenecid. Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences any unusual reactions when different medications are given together.

Make sure to tell your veterinarian what other medication you are giving to your pet. Quite often your veterinarian may prescribe two different medications, even if a drug interaction may occur. In this case, your veterinarian may vary the dose and/or monitor your pet more closely.

Amoxicillin is not for use in dogs with penicillin or cephalosporin allergies.
