Metronidazole 250 MG Antibiotic Tablets For Dogs And Cats Metrobactin

Metronidazole/Metrobactin is commonly used as an anti-diarrheal medication that treats inflammation of the large intestine. It is also effective against protozoal and bacterial infections such as Giardia, Trichomonas and Balantidium coli. It is effective against only anaerobic pathogens but is safe to use with many other antibiotics for mixed infections.

Metronidazole can treat central nervous system infections that most other drugs cannot treat by penetrating the blood-brain barrier. It is also particularly effective against infections of the bone and teeth.

Give this medication with food, as this will increase absorption.

How It Works

Most healthy parts of your pet’s body require good circulation and oxygen to thrive. Abscesses and damaged tissue, however, typically have poor oxygen circulation. Only specific pathogens that can survive without oxygen can thrive in these areas. Metronidazole inhibits certain repair enzymes in cells in unoxygenated (or anaerobic) environments.

Storage Information

Keep the liquid form of medication refrigerated and shake well before use. All other forms must be kept in a tightly sealed container at room temperature and protected from heat or light.

Missed Dose?

Give the dose as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule. Do not give your pet two doses at once.
