Important Information About Prescription Antibiotics:

• Follow Your Veterinarian's Instructions: To help protect against antibiotic resistance, it's important to use this medication only as directed by your veterinarian.
• Complete the Full Course: Giving your pet the entire course of medication is important, even if they seem to feel better after a few days. Stopping medication early can allow bacteria to grow again.
• Antibiotic Resistance: Misusing antibiotics can increase the risk of bacteria developing resistance to these medications. This means the antibiotics may become less effective in treating future infections in your pet, other animals, and humans.
