What is Clavamox?
What is Clavamox?
Clavamox is a trusted, broad-spectrum antibiotic in the penicillin family. It’s been used to treat bacterial infections (including skin, gum, and urinary tract infections) in dogs and cats for over 30 years. It contains a special ingredient to neutralize ß-lactamase, an enzyme that protects bacteria from antibiotics. Once the enzyme is neutralized, the aminopenicillin antibiotic in Clavamox is able to destroy the bacteria (including Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and E. coli).
