Metronidazole (Veterinary Grade)

Product Overview

Metronidazole is a nitroimidazole antibiotic and antiprotozoal for veterinary use, demonstrating potent activity against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa. It is a WHO Essential Medicine and remains a cornerstone treatment for protozoal infections across companion animals, livestock, and exotic species.

Metronidazole is activated by reduction of its nitro group within anaerobic organisms, forming toxic metabolites that damage bacterial and protozoal DNA. Highly effective against Giardia, Trichomonas, and Clostridium species. Essential in veterinary practice for enteric protozoal infections, anaerobic infections, and periodontal disease management.
