Pharmacological properties
Pharmacological properties

Metronidazole belongs to the nitroimidazoles group and affects anaerobic bacteria (spore- and nonspore-forming), treponemes, amoebas, balantidia, and trichomonads.

Mode of action: the biochemical reduction of the metronidazole 5-nitro group by intracellular transport proteins of anaerobic microorganisms and protozoa. The reduced metronidazole 5-nitro group interacts with the DNA in the bacterial cell, inhibiting the synthesis of nucleic acids in it, and thus causing the death of the microorganism.

When administered intramuscularly, the drug quickly penetrates the blood and tissues. It is excreted mainly with urine.
Indications
Indications
The drug Metronid 50 is applied to pigs with dysentery caused by Treponema (Serpulina) hyodysenteriae and balantidioza (Balantidium suis).
Dosage and route of administration
Dosage and route of administration

Metronid 50 is administered intramuscularly 1 mL per 10 kg of animal weight (5 mg of metronidazole per 1 kg) for dysentery and 2 mL per 10 kg of animal weight (10 mg of metronidazole per 1 kg) for balantidiasis twice with a 48 hours interval. If the volume of the injected solution exceeds 10 mL, it shall be injected into different sites. In severe cases (especially in case of anaerobic infections), the drug shall be administered once a day during 3-5 days.

If necessary, the course of treatment may be repeated after 10-15 days. This shall occur together with symptomatic treatment, vitamins, disinfection and deratization of the veterinary facilities.

In severe cases (especially in case of anaerobic infections), the drug shall be administered once a day, for 3 to 5 days.

If necessary, the course of treatment may be repeated after 10 to 15 days. This shall occur together with symptomatic treatment, vitamins, disinfection, and deratization of the veterinary facilities.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Avoid using Metronid 50 in the first third of gestation. During treatment with Metronid 50, no alcohol-containing drugs shall be administered.
Restrictions
Restrictions

Animals can be slaughtered for human consumption not earlier than 15 days after the last injection of Metronid 50 was made. In the case of forced slaughter of animals and poultry before the established deadlines, the meat can be used for feeding carnivores.
