Further information
Resistance to many antibiotics is caused by beta-lactamase enzymes which destroy the antibiotic before it can act on the bacteria themselves. The clavulanate in Synulox counteracts this defence mechanism by inactivating the beta-lactamases, thus rendering the organisms sensitive to amoxicillin's rapid bactericidal effect, at concentrations readily attainable in the body.
Synulox is effective against Klebsiella infections found in veterinary practice, but it is not indicated for cases involving Pseudomonas species.
Synulox Palatable Tablets are often accepted from the hand, even by sick dogs and cats. Alternatively, the tablets may be crumbled and added to a little food.
Synulox Palatable Tablets can safely be used during pregnancy and lactation.
Synulox Palatable Drops are available as an alternative presentation for treating small individuals.
