Simplicef Antimicrobial Tablets for Oral Use

Simplicef tablets are prescribed by veterinarians for the treatment of various infections in dogs caused by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Some of these infections include but are not limited to skin, urinary tract, bone, and respiratory tract infections. Best of all, this antimicrobial comes in a tablet form, so you can feed it by mouth.

Uses

Simplicef tablets are indicated for the treatment of skin infections, wounds and abscesses in dogs caused by specific strains of bacteria.

Possible Side Effects

Side effects may include vomiting, diarrhea, increased water-intake and decreased appetite.

Drug & Food Interactions

Discuss medications and supplements your pet is taking with your vet as interactions are possible with Simplicef. Aminoglycosides (gentamicin, neomycin), amphotericin B, anticoagulants (blood thinners, such as heparin or warfarin), and probenicid may interact with Simplicef. Other interactions may occur.

Precautions

If your pet is allergic to cephalosporins or penicillins, do not give Simplicef. Simplicef should not be given to pregnant or lactating animals because it passes through the milk. Pets with seizure disorders, epilepsy, or kidney disease should be given Simplicef cautiously and only as directed. Simplicef may cause a false-positive glucose test result with certain brands of urine test strips.
