When amoxicillian is prescribed for a dog, is it like peas in a pod drug explicitly prescribed for humans?

When amoxicillian is prescribed for a dog, is it like peas in a pod drug explicitly prescribed for humans?
Technically yes, it's the same drug. The difference between a medication intended for veterinarian use and human use lies in the factory and conditions beneath which it was made. The FDA regulates medication production for humans, and requires different standards of cleanliness, dosage dependability, and underneath inactive ingredients. Those standards simply apply to drugs for humans, not animals. Now most places that manufacture drugs for animals follow alike type protocols, but they are not required to and they are not inspected or regulated in impossible to tell apart manner, so within is no promise it meets the FDA standards. Although you probably could pinch amoxicillin made for your dog without problems, the company would not be responsible for any in poor health effects you suffered as a consequence. That all said, the drug production within many countries is not even as dependable as that made for the animals, so depending on where on earth you were living, and where on earth the drug was made, it might be simply as safe or even safer. I'd be suspicious of drugs made surrounded by China, for example- and given the choice of amoxicillin made for humans in China and impossible to tell apart drug made in the US, Canada, or Britain for a dog- I'd probably give somebody a lift the chance on the veterinarian book.
Yes. It's the same medication, just a different dosage. Don't confer your pet a human dose, and don't take a dog's dosage yourself, because it will affect the safekeeping and effectiveness of the drug.
yes Most animal drugs are the human sort..With the exception of a few.
yes it is and the doses are very impressively much smaller. I asked a vet b/4
