PRODUCT INFORMATION
Zodon for Dogs and Cats – Clindamycin Veterinary Antibiotic
Zodon is a prescription-only veterinary antibiotic containing clindamycin, a lincosamide antibiotic used in the treatment of certain bacterial infections in dogs and cats.
Zodon is available in several formulations, allowing veterinary surgeons to select an appropriate strength and dosage form for the individual animal. Vetalia supplies Zodon 88mg tablets, Zodon 264mg tablets and Zodon 25mg/ml oral solution against a valid veterinary prescription.
The tablets are licensed for use in dogs, while Zodon 25mg/ml oral solution is licensed for use in dogs and cats.
What is Zodon?
Zodon is a veterinary medicine containing the active ingredient clindamycin hydrochloride. Clindamycin belongs to the lincosamide group of antibiotics and acts against susceptible bacteria by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis.
What is Zodon used for in Dogs?
Zodon tablets are licensed for the treatment of several infections associated with bacteria susceptible to clindamycin.
Licensed indications include:
- Treatment of infected wounds and abscesses
- Treatment of oral cavity and dental infections, including periodontal disease
- Treatment of superficial pyoderma
- Treatment of osteomyelitis caused by susceptible organisms
The precise treatment course varies according to the type and severity of infection. Owners should follow the dosage and duration stated on their veterinary prescription and should not alter or discontinue antibiotic treatment without consulting their veterinary surgeon.
What is Zodon used for in cats?
Zodon 25mg/ml oral solution is licensed for use in cats for the treatment of infected wounds and abscesses caused by clindamycin-susceptible bacteria.
The liquid formulation can be particularly useful where a veterinary surgeon has prescribed clindamycin for a cat and an oral solution is more appropriate than a solid dosage form.
Can I order individual Zodon tablets?
Yes. Vetalia can dispense individual Zodon tablets according to the quantity authorised on your veterinary prescription.
This means that if your vet has prescribed, for example, a specific course of Zodon 88mg or Zodon 264mg tablets, you can order the prescribed number rather than having to purchase a complete manufacturer's pack of 120 tablets.
Do I need a prescription for Zodon?
Yes. Zodon is classified as a POM-V (Prescription Only Medicine – Veterinarian) in the UK and can only be supplied against a valid prescription issued by a veterinary surgeon.
Your prescription should specify the required medicine, strength, quantity and dosing instructions. Vetalia will dispense the medication in accordance with the prescription provided.
