Is dog and horse amoxicillin the same?

In: Dogs (Canines), Care of Horses, Veterinary Medicine [Edit categories]

Answer:

Amoxicillin is a penicillin-derived antibiotic commonly used to treat Gram positive bacterial infections. The drug itself is the same in both the canine and equine formulations, but the inactive ingredients, concentration and route of administration are very different. A veterinarian could not use a canine formulation to treat a horse, nor use an equine formulation to treat a dog.
