How does Antirobe work?

Brand Name:

Antirobe (Zoetis), Antirobe Aquadrops (Zoetis), Cleocin (Pharmacia)

Generic Name:

What is the most important information I should know about Antirobe?

Antirobe is FDA-approved for use in dogs only; however, it is a commonly accepted practice for veterinarians to use Antirobe in cats. Antirobe is a prescription medication available as 25 mg, 75 mg, and 150 mg capsules and 25 mg/ml drops as Antirobe Aquadrops. Symptoms may get better before the infection is fully treated. Antibiotics can cause diarrhea. If the diarrhea is watery or has blood in it, call your veterinarian. Do not use any medication to stop the diarrhea unless your veterinarian has told you to do so.

What should I discuss with my veterinarian before giving Antirobe to my pet?

Tell your veterinarian if your pet has kidney disease, liver disease, colitis, asthma, eczema, or allergic skin reaction. Tell your veterinarian if your pet is pregnant or lactating. Prior to any surgery on your pet, let your veterinarian know if your pet is still taking Antirobe.

How should Antirobe be given?

Give this medication for the entire length of time prescribed by your veterinarian. Do not give in larger amounts, or give for longer than recommended by your veterinarian. Symptoms may get better before the infection is fully treated. Periodic blood testing will be necessary. Kidney and liver function may also need to be tested. The usual dose for dogs is 2.5-15 mg/lb every 12 hours, and should be discontinued if no response is seen within 3-4 days. For osteomyelitis in dogs, treatment should be continued for a minimum of 28 days. The usual dose in cats is 5-15 mg/lb every 24 hours for a maximum duration of 14 days. Discontinue if no response is seen within 3-4 days. Follow the directions on the prescription label. Allow plenty of water for your pet to drink.

What are the potential side effects of Antirobe?

If any of the following serious side effects occur, stop giving Antirobe and seek emergency veterinary medical help: an allergic reaction (hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat). Stop the medication and talk to your veterinarian if any of these side effects occur: diarrhea that is watery or bloody, fever, chills, body aches, nausea, stomach pain, loss of appetite, dark urine, jaundice, urinating less than usual or not at all, fever, headache, or blistering or peeling of the skin. Side effects other than those listed in this guide may occur. Talk to your veterinarian about any side effect that is unusual or especially bothersome to your pet.

What happens if I miss giving a dose of Antirobe?

Give the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and give the next regularly scheduled dose. Do not give a double dose of the medication.

What happens if I overdose my pet on Antirobe?

Seek emergency veterinary medical attention if you think you have given your pet too much of this medication. Symptoms of Antirobe overdose may include vomiting, loss of appetite, weight loss, depression, behavior changes, or seizure.

What should I avoid while giving Antirobe to my pet?

Avoid giving your pet other medications along with Antirobe unless your veterinarian has approved. Tell your veterinarian about all prescription and over-the-counter medications you give your pet including vitamins, minerals, and herbal products.

What other drugs will affect Antirobe?

Do not use this medication if your pet is allergic to Antirobe or lincomycin (Bactramycin, L-Mycin, Lincocin). Do not give Antirobe together with erythromycin (E-Mycin, E.E.S., Ery-Tab, and others). There may be other drugs that can affect Antirobe.

gum infection
Shadow has been on this for 4 months, he is elderly, and his liver function does not allow anesthesia for a thorough dental cleaning. The pills keep the gum infection and smelly mouth under control. This does not prevent the plaque, but is an antibiotic to control gum/dental disease. It is expensive, but w/o it we can't get within 5 feet of Shadow because of the bad mouth smell... and I'm sure he was in pain from the infection. He's happier, and I put the pill on a kibble of dog food, held on by peanut butter. No problems.

Works well for inflamed gums
I also believe the user with a negative review was uninformed about the product. This antibiotic will not magically clean plaque and tartar off your dog's teeth. A dental cleaning will do that. This antibiotic is used to treat periodontal disease/gingivitis, and THEN the next step would be a dental cleaning (or that first, and then antibiotics). You can take actions to keep your dog's teeth clean (antler chews, raw bones, greenies), but once you have that tartar buildup you can't just give them an antibiotic and think it will go away.

Staph Infection
My dog was finally prescribed this medication after all other antibiotics failed over the past year. I went to so called specialist but finally decided on the UGA Vet school. They were thorough and detailed with determining if my dog had allergies (Ga resident) or the staph infection.

This is not an antibiotic used to prevent plaque or tartar. If your Dr. told you that then you need to talk with your Dr. about giving you false hope. This antibiotic is used for knocking back the overpopulation of bacteria in the mouth. Though the mouth is not a sterile environment to begin with, it does lessen the spread of potentially harmful over population of bacteria throughout the organ system.

Product did absolutely nothing to inhibit plaque, tarter or bad breath as purported by the vet. Save your money (expensive product) and buy a good drinking water dental rinse.
