Product Overview

Cefpodoxime Proxetil treats skin infections. It may also be used to treat respiratory and bladder infections in dogs, as well as soft tissue or skin infections in cats.
* Sold per tablet.
Cefpodoxime proxetil is an oral cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections of the skin, such as wounds and abscesses as well as bladder and respiratory infections in dogs and skin and soft tissue infections in cats.
For use in cats and dogs.
Cefpodoxime Proxetil is an FDA-approved treatment for bacterial skin infections. The simple, one-daily dosing is easy to administer because it may be given without or with food.
Cefpodoxime Proxetil are used to treat skin infections (abscesses and wounds) in dogs.

Bryan D Verified Purchase

The prescription for my dog at the vet was outrageously priced. I forgot nd this web site and it is so much cheaper. Your vet may not be happy about not being able to over charge you for prescriptions but your wallet will certainly be happier. All I did was get the prescription from the vet and mail it to Allivet. I got the same medicine I get from the vet for less than half the price. The medicine was delivered fast. I am so happy I searched the web and found this site. I definitely will be getting all my dogs meds here in the future.

Our 16year old companion canine had an infection that was causing an elevaletd temp along with sluggishnish. The vet prescribed this medication and it was effective and well tolerated. Allivet was excellent at contacting the vet and ensuring I received my prescription in a timely matter. The brand name for this prescription was $17.91 for ONE pill from the vet. Thank you Allivet for the generic equivalent at less than one tenth my vet's brand name price.

I bought this product though you because of the price! It came out to be a 2/3 cheaper than at my local vet. I have checked out other pet sites and so far you seem to have to best prices. It is hard to give a rating since I have never did any business with Allivet before. But if it ships fast and is a good product I will be sure to come back and give an appropriate rating. So I will start with a 4 star for pricing.
