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.

Clinical characteristics & efficacy

Metronidazole is the molecule of choice for anaerobes. It is highly lipophilic, allowing it to easily penetrate infected cells where it causes DNA fragmentation and inhibits protein synthesis.

Gastrointestinal Efficacy

  • In a study of anaerobic strains, 100% (61/61) of isolates collected from dogs with GI disease (including C. difficile and C. perfringens) were susceptible to metronidazole.
    ²
  • Eradia significantly decreases cyst excretion and reduces diarrhoea in Giardia-infected dogs.
    ³

Dental and Periodontal Efficacy

  • 100% (35/35) of anaerobic isolates collected from dogs with periodontal disease were susceptible to metronidazole
    ² .

Pharmacokinetics

  • Absolute bioavailability is 98% in fasted dogs. While food slightly decreases oral bioavailability, it remains high at 81%, allowing for flexible administration with or without food.
