Oriheal Veteroklin-600 Amoxicillin & Cloxacillin 600mg Veterinary Injection
Oriheal Veteroklin-600 is a veterinary prescription broad-spectrum antibiotic injection combining Amoxicillin (aminopenicillin) and Cloxacillin (isoxazolylpenicillin / penicillinase-resistant penicillin) in a combined 600mg formulation. Amoxicillin provides broad-spectrum activity against susceptible gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria; Cloxacillin provides penicillinase-resistant (beta-lactamase-stable) activity against penicillinase-producing Staphylococci. The combination extends antibacterial coverage to include both beta-lactamase-producing and non-producing organisms. Intended for use in livestock and companion animals under veterinary supervision. Confirm exact Amoxicillin:Cloxacillin ratio, vial volume, injection route (IM/SC/IV), dose, reconstitution instructions, and withdrawal periods from the Veteroklin-600 product label and veterinary prescriber.
Composition (confirm from product label)
-
Amoxicillin: Aminopenicillin; broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic; active against susceptible gram-positive organisms (Streptococci, non-penicillinase-producing Staphylococci, Enterococci) and gram-negative organisms (E. coli, Salmonella spp., Pasteurella spp., Haemophilus spp.); confirm mg per vial from label
-
Cloxacillin: Isoxazolylpenicillin (penicillinase-resistant penicillin); stable against beta-lactamase (penicillinase) produced by Staphylococci; active against penicillinase-producing Staphylococcus aureus and S. pseudintermedius; confirm mg per vial from label
- Combined: 600mg total — confirm Amoxicillin:Cloxacillin ratio (e.g. 300mg:300mg or other) from Veteroklin-600 product label
Mechanism of Action
- Both Amoxicillin and Cloxacillin are beta-lactam antibiotics that inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to and inactivating Penicillin-Binding Proteins (PBPs), blocking peptidoglycan cross-linking; bactericidal against susceptible organisms
- Amoxicillin is hydrolysed by beta-lactamases produced by resistant Staphylococci and some gram-negative organisms; Cloxacillin resists hydrolysis by staphylococcal beta-lactamases (penicillinases), providing combined coverage across both beta-lactamase-producing and non-producing bacterial populations
Target Species (confirm from product label)
- Livestock: confirm applicable species from label (may include cattle, sheep, goats, pigs)
- Companion animals: confirm applicable species from label (may include dogs, cats)
Indications (confirm spectrum from product label)
- Susceptible gram-positive bacterial infections — Streptococcal infections, Staphylococcal infections (including penicillinase-producing strains via Cloxacillin component)
- Skin and soft tissue infections — wounds, abscesses, pyoderma, cellulitis
- Respiratory tract infections — pneumonia, bronchopneumonia in livestock and companion animals
- Urinary tract infections (UTI) in companion animals
- Mastitis in dairy animals (confirm from label)
- Post-surgical prophylaxis and wound infections
- Septicaemia and systemic bacterial infections under veterinary management
Directions for Use
- For veterinary use only — must be administered by or under the direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian
- Confirm injection route (IM / SC / IV), dose (mg/kg), frequency, and duration from Veteroklin-600 product label and veterinary prescriber
- Confirm reconstitution instructions if supplied as powder for injection — use immediately after reconstitution; discard unused portion
- Observe aseptic technique during preparation and administration
- Complete the full prescribed course; do not discontinue early even if clinical improvement is observed
- Observe prescribed withdrawal periods for food-producing animals — confirm meat and milk withdrawal periods from product label
Safety Information
- Prescription medicine — for veterinary use only; do not self-administer
- Do not use in animals with known hypersensitivity to penicillins, cephalosporins, or other beta-lactam antibiotics; cross-reactivity exists within the beta-lactam class
- Use with caution in animals with renal impairment — dose adjustment may be required; consult a veterinarian
- Observe withdrawal periods in food-producing animals — do not use in lactating dairy animals if milk is intended for human consumption unless withdrawal period is confirmed and observed from product label
- Antibiotic resistance: use only for confirmed or strongly suspected susceptible bacterial infections; avoid prophylactic use without veterinary indication
- Keep out of reach of children; store as directed on label (typically refrigerated for reconstituted solutions — confirm from label)
