Cefpet (Cefpodoxime Proxetil) is an oral antibacterial syrup prescribed to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections affecting your dog.
The medication operates by slowing or stopping the reproduction of bacteria cells in the animals body allowing its immune system to eliminate the infection.
This can make it useful for treating bacterial infections affecting the ears, respiratory tract, soft tissues, skin, or urinary tract.
It should be noted that this medication will have no effect on infections caused by a virus or fungus.
Your veterinarian may also prescribe it for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.
How to use
Always follow the instructions provided by your veterinarian while using Cefpet (Cefpodoxime Proxetil) to get the most effective results from treatment. One measured dose is normally administered once or twice daily for a period of medication lasting one or two weeks, but the best directions will depend on your dogs health, weight, the condition being treated, and the severity of its symptoms. These should be measured and given using the included measuring device to ensure the most accurate dosage. Do not stop giving the medicine, even if your pets symptoms seem to have disappeared, as the infection may not be gone and can return stronger or more resistant to treatment. Ask your veterinarian any questions you have about administering the medicine to make sure you are using it correctly.
