METROZOLE PLUS is an antibiotic used in veterinary medicine to treat various conditions in dogs. Let’s delve into the details:
Purpose and Mechanism:
Metronidazole is effective against bacterial infections and certain protozoal infections.
It works by diffusing into anaerobic bacteria, where it’s activated and reduced into a short-lived nitroso free radical. This radical interacts with DNA, causing strand breakage and bacterial death1.
Indications:
Bacterial Infections: Metronidazole treats infections caused by bacteria that don’t require oxygen to survive.
Protozoal Infections: It’s used for conditions like trichomoniasis and amebiasis.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Metronidazole can help manage IBD symptoms in dogs.
Dosage and Administration:
Administer as directed by your veterinarian.
Available in a 100 mg/ml concentration.
Usually given orally, with food or milk to prevent stomach upset.
Shake suspension well before use.
Side Effects:
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, headache, and abdominal pain.
Serious side effects are rare but may include dizziness, seizures, and vision changes.
