 Use of Ronidazole


Ronidazole is an antiprotozoal agent.Target: AntiparasiticRonidazole is an antiprotozoal agent used in veterinary medicine. It may also have use for the treatment of Tritrichomonas foetus infection in cats. Ronidazole kills T foetus at concentrations > 0.1 μg/mL in vitro. Ronidazole (30 or 50 mg/kg) cures T foetus infection for follow-up durations of 21 to 30 weeks after treatment in 10/10 cats [1].
