Frequently Asked Questions
Why is APC-Mox Lamb Care a useful amoxicillin–clavulanate oral suspension for lambs?
APC-Mox Lamb Care combines amoxicillin with clavulanic acid, extending activity against some beta-lactamase-producing bacteria, useful in respiratory, enteric, skin, and urinary infections.
How do amoxicillin and clavulanic acid work together against susceptible bacterial infections?
Amoxicillin inhibits bacterial cell-wall synthesis; clavulanic acid inhibits certain beta-lactamases, protecting amoxicillin from degradation and broadening its spectrum.

APC-Mox Lamb Care may be used for respiratory infections/pneumonia, enteritis, skin and soft-tissue infections, and urinary-tract infections in lambs, where organisms are susceptible.
