Amoxygard

Amoxygard is a combined antibacterial drug. The drug has a broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against most Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms, including βlactamase-producing strains: Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Corynebacterium spp., Clostridium spp., Bacillus anthracis, Actinomyces bovis, Peptostreptococcus spp., Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Bordetella bronchiseptica, Campylobacter spp., Klebsiella, Proteus spp., Pasteurella, Fusobacterium necrophorum, Bacteroides, Haemophilus spp., Moraxella spp., Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, and Actinobacillus lignieresii.

Resistance to β-lactam antibiotics is usually associated with the ability of microorganisms to produce β-lactamase, i. e. an enzyme that breaks down the β-lactam ring of the antibiotic before it can affect the bacterium. Clavulanic acid inactivates β-lactamase and thus restores the bacterial sensitivity of bacteria to amoxicillin at concentrations that are easily achieved in the animal tissues by injecting the drug. 

Amoxygard is prescribed:

• for cattle to treat respiratory diseases of bacterial etiology, obstetric-gynecological diseases (metritis, mastitis, surgical diseases, incl. such soft tissue infections as abscesses, phlegmon, etc.)

• for pigs to treat bacterial respiratory infections, colibacillosis, postpartum infections in sows (i. e. metritis, mastitis, agalactia). 

Milk can be used for human consumption no earlier than 108 hours after the drug was administered for the last time. Taken before expiration of the restriction period, the milk can be used for animal feeding after boiling.

Cattle can be slaughtered for human consumption no earlier than 42 days after, pigs - no earlier than 31 days. In the case of forced slaughter of animals before the established deadlines, the meat can be used for feeding fur-bearing animals.
