Clinvet (Clindamycin)
What is Clinvet (Clindamycin) used for? Clinvet (Clindamycin) is an oral antibiotic solution prescribed to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections affecting cats or dogs. It operates by slowing the reproduction of bacteria cells in the animal's body allowing the immune system to control or destroy the infection. The medication is commonly used to treat conditions such as ear infections, skin infections, urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, or infections of the soft tissues. Your veterinarian may also prescribe it for the treatment of other unlisted conditions. How should I use Clinvet (Clindamycin)? Strictly follow your physician's instructions while using Clinvet (Clindamycin) to ensure the most effective results from treatment. The correct dosage will be determined according to your pet's age, weight, the condition being treated, its current health, and the severity of its symptoms. These should be measured using the included measuring tool and administered orally. Ask your veterinarian any questions you have about the medication to ensure the correct usage. What are the side effects of Clinvet (Clindamycin)? Most pets will not encounter any side effects while taking Clinvet (Clindamycin) when it is administered correctly. Stop giving your pet the medicine and contact your veterinarian immediately if you notice any serious symptoms such as tremors, seizures, diarrhea that is bloody or watery, vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction such as severe skin rashes, swelling, or difficulty breathing. These conditions may require lower dosages, reduced frequency of administration, or emergency medical attention in more serious cases. Please Note Clinvet (Clindamycin) is only to be administered to animals and should never be taken by humans. Strictly follow all instructions provided to you by the prescribing vet while giving Clinvet (Clindamycin) to your animal. Optimum and safe dosage can differ based on the animal and the condition it is being treated for. As this medication may be unsafe for certain animals, it is essential you always inform the vet if your animal is used for breeding and is pregnant or lactating, as well as if it has any allergies, other illnesses, or ongoing health conditions, and if it is being given any other form of medication, supplements, or herbal products. Immediately seek emergency veterinary care if your animal has any allergic or hypersensitive reaction. Common signs of a reaction in animals include hives, swelling, skin rashes, chest pains, as well as trouble breathing or swallowing. |
