Duphamox LA
Uses
Duphamox LA is indicated in the treatment and control of infections caused by organisms sensitive to amoxicillin.
Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum semi-synthetic bactericidal in action for use in cattle, pigs, sheep, dogs and cats. In vitro it is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria which include:
Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirablis, Salmonella spp, Staphylococcus spp and Streptococcus spp (non penicillinase producing).
Not effective against beta-lactamase producing organisms. Duphamox LA injection is suitable for the control of infections due to susceptible micro-organisms in cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and cats where a single injection giving prolonged activity is required. It may also protect from secondary bacterial invasion due to sensitive organisms in cases where bacteria are not the initial cause of the disease. Indications include infections of: Alimentary tract; respiratory tract; skin and soft tissue; urogenital tract and in the prevention of post-operative infection (treat the surgery).
