If using the liquid suspension, shake well before use. * **Interactions:** Do not give at the same time as dairy products, antacids, or supplements containing calcium, iron, zinc, or magnesium. Separate these by at least 2 hours. * **Completion:** Always finish the entire prescription, even if your pet seems better, to prevent resistant bacteria from developing. * **Side Effects:** Watch for mild stomach upset (vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite).
