ClavaMOX is an FDA-approved preparation containing ClavaMOX, for veterinary use. Available by prescription.
Clavamox® is a commercial brand of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium, a potentiated penicillin antibiotic utilized extensively in veterinary medicine. It is a prescription medication available for use in dogs and cats, frequently considered by veterinarians to manage a wide spectrum of susceptible bacterial challenges. Veterinarians most commonly consider Clavamox® for patients presented with skin health concerns, such as deep-seated pyoderma or localized tissue challenges like infected wounds. It is also frequently a point of discussion for managing periodontal infections and certain urinary tract challenges. By targeting the structural integrity of bacteria while neutralizing their defense mechanisms, your veterinarian can manage the progression of the infectious process.
The actions described here reflect the product's FDA-approved labeling; your veterinarian determines the appropriate use for your animal.

Commonly observed effects following the administration of Clavamox® include localized digestive changes such as vomiting, diarrhea or a temporary decrease in appetite. Some animals may exhibit behavioral shifts including lethargy. While this medication is associated with a broad safety profile, hypersensitivity reactions ranging from mild skin rashes to rare anaphylactic events have been noted in sensitive individuals. Owners should monitor their pet for any unusual swelling, hives or breathing changes and contact their veterinarian promptly with any concerns. This medication is typically used with extra caution or avoided in patients with a known hypersensitivity to penicillins or cephalosporins, as cross-reactivity between these classes can occur. It is also carefully evaluated in pets with severe renal impairment, as the active ingredients are primarily cleared through the kidneys. Before starting a protocol, ensure your veterinarian has a complete history of all other medications your pet is receiving. Your veterinarian is the right person to provide guidance on the necessary duration of use and the most commonly considered administration schedule to ensure the management approach remains suitable for your pet's individual recovery needs.
Yes. Clavamox is a prescription antibiotic and can only be dispensed by a licensed pharmacy upon receipt of a valid authorization from a licensed veterinarian. Mixlab verifies all authorizations before any medication is prepared or shipped to your home.
Clavamox is available in commercial tablet and drops formats. When a veterinarian determines that a customized strength or a different flavored dosage form—such as a flavored oral liquid—better suits an individual patient's needs, Mixlab can compound the active ingredients accordingly. The decision between a commercial and compounded product rests with the prescribing veterinarian.
Veterinarians discuss Clavamox because it contains clavulanate, which blocks certain enzymes that some bacteria use to resist amoxicillin. This addition allows the medication to manage a broader range of bacterial infections than amoxicillin could on its own.
Localized digestive upset is a commonly observed effect. Your veterinarian may recommend giving Clavamox with a small meal to manage this risk. If vomiting persists, you should contact your veterinarian to discuss whether the administration protocol needs adjustment.
