Indications

Treatment of infections of the gastrointestinal tract caused by Giardia spp. and Clostridium spp. (i.e. C. perfringens or C. difficile).

Treatment of infections of the urogenital tract, oral cavity, throat and skin caused by obligate anaerobic bacteria (e.g. Clostridium spp.) susceptible to metronidazole.

Dose to be administered and administration route

Oral use.

The recommended dose is 50 mg metronidazole per kg bodyweight per day (i.e. 0.4 mL per kg bodyweight), preferably given in two equally divided doses (i.e. 25 mg equivalent to 0.2 mL per kg bodyweight twice daily) for 5-7 days.

To ensure a correct dosage body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing and overdosing.

The following table is intended as a guide to dispensing the product at the volume corresponding to either 25 mg/kg for administration twice daily or 50 mg/kg for administration once daily.
