the noah compendium only lists licenced veterinary medicines.

for something like augmentin or zantac, you need the bsava formulary which lists the 'recommended' dose rates.

there will be one in your practice somewhere!

If this is for a caselog for your portfolio you are meant to use the dosage that the vet used, not what is in the book
