What is Familial Alzheimerâs? Familial Alzheimerâs disease (FAD) is a rare form of Alzheimerâs that is entirely passed down through family, being inherited from a parent. FAD accounts for between 2-3% of all cases of Alzheimerâs and usually has a much earlier onset than other types of Alzheimerâs, with symptoms developing in their 30s or 40s.
Cefpodoxime Proxetil is an antibiotic that is in the class of cephalosporins. It is the generic for Simplicef and Vantin. It is specifically a third generation cephalosporin and is used for infections in dogs, specifically for skin infections. Your cat's veterinarian may also prescribe it off-label for your cat where appropriate.
As a pet owner you need to be aware of possible drug interactions and the side effects of Simplicef if you have to administer the drug to your dog. The medication is usually prescribed as a course that shouldn't be discontinued, even if the dog appears normal or if the symptoms of the infection subside.
