Antibiotic susceptibility of the pathogenic organism(s) should be determined prior to use of this preparation. Therapy with ORBAX® Oral Suspension may be initiated before results of these tests are known. Once results become available, continue with appropriate therapy. For the treatment of skin infections, ORBAX® Oral Suspension should be given for two (2) to three (3) days beyond the cessation of clinical signs to a maximum of 30 days.
