Intas Merbomet Metronidazole Antibiotic Tablet for Dogs & Cats (50mg & 150mg)

Intas Merbomet is a veterinary antibiotic tablet containing Metronidazole, a nitroimidazole antibacterial and antiprotozoal agent effective against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa in dogs and cats. Merbomet is available in 50mg (for smaller dogs and cats) and 150mg (for larger dogs) for accurate weight-based dosing.

Metronidazole acts by entering microbial cells and forming toxic free radicals that disrupt DNA synthesis, causing bactericidal and protozoalcidal action against susceptible organisms.
