For oral administration only. Synulox Palatable Tablets are often accepted from the hand, even by sick dogs. Alternatively, the tablets may be crushed and added to a small quantity of food. The majority of routine cases will respond between 5 and 7 days therapy. Because of the low toxicity profile of Synulox, the dose can be doubled if desired at the discretion of the veterinary surgeon for severe infection. In certain indications, for example canine pyoderma and chronic cystitis, bacterial infection may be secondary to other pathology. For such cases longer courses of antibacterial therapy may be required, in addition to diagnosis and treatment of the underlying condition. In such circumstances overall treatment length must be at the clinician's discretion, but should be long enough to ensure complete resolution of the bacterial disease.
