How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Metronidazole 50 mg/ml Oral Suspension (Vet) is a compounded formulation of an antibiotic medication primarily used in the treatment of various bacterial and protozoal infections. Metronidazole functions by inhibiting the growth and proliferation of bacteria and protozoa, thereby alleviating the symptoms associated with these infections.

The recommended dosage for adults is typically 250-500 mg administered three times daily over a period of 7-10 days. For children, the dosage is calculated based on body weight, with the usual recommendation being 10-20 mg/kg/day divided into three doses for a duration of 7-10 days. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and complete the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms appear to improve before the completion of the treatment course. This is to ensure the complete eradication of the infection and to prevent the development of resistance to the medication.

Like all medications, Metronidazole 50 mg/ml Oral Suspension (Vet) may cause side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. If you experience any of these side effects or any other adverse reactions, it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately. They can provide guidance and, if necessary, adjust the dosage or switch to a different medication.

If you have any questions or concerns about this medication, its uses, or its potential side effects, do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist for more information.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
