FAQs
Can I buy Synulox over the counter?
No, Synulox is a prescription-only veterinary medication and requires a valid prescription from a licensed veterinarian.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
Administer the dose as soon as you remember, unless it is close to the time for the next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
Are these tablets safe for all breeds?
While generally safe for cats and dogs, safety depends on individual health status and allergies. Always disclose your pet's full medical history to your vet.
How do I know if my pet is allergic?
Signs of allergic reaction may include facial swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing. Seek emergency veterinary care if these symptoms appear.
Can I crush the tablets to mix with food?
You should ask your veterinarian before crushing any medication, as this can affect the absorption rate and effectiveness of the drug.
Troubleshooting
Pet refuses to eat the tablet.
Try concealing the tablet inside a small amount of wet food or a specialized 'pill pocket' treat, or consult your veterinarian for alternative administration techniques.
Pet experiences digestive upset.
Consult your veterinarian to discuss giving the medication with food, or to determine if an alternative therapeutic approach is required.
Infection symptoms persist after finishing the course.
Contact your veterinarian immediately for a follow-up assessment, as the infection may require a different antibiotic or extended treatment duration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Usage of Synulox must be initiated only after a veterinary examination. To ensure the medication remains effective, keep the tablets in their original packaging, stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the medication out of reach of children and other pets. Always monitor your pet during the first few doses to ensure they have fully swallowed the tablet and have not hidden or spit it out. If your pet has a history of allergies to beta-lactam antibiotics, inform your veterinarian immediately, as Synulox is contraindicated in these cases.
