Synulox is a novel concept in antibiotic therapy.
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 bacteria 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 RTU may be used in pregnant animals, subject to observance of the withholding time for milk and meat intending for human consumption.
