Metronidazole 500mg Tablets
Metronidazole 500mg Tablets hold a niche best-in-class role for equine systemic targeted therapy where anaerobic pathogens are implicated by sensitivity testing, offering oral formulations with strong tissue penetration and anaerobic efficacy not matched by many other agents on the list. Although usually pricier and often used off-label in equines compared with common veterinary generics, its unique anaerobic spectrum makes it indispensable for sensitivity-guided regimens that require targeted activity.

Chloramphenicol Palmitate Oral Suspension
Chloramphenicol Palmitate Oral Suspension is positioned as a powerful, targeted option for equine cases where sensitivity testing shows susceptibility to chloramphenicol; its palatable suspension is useful for foals and difficult-to-dose individuals. While its high potency against a broad spectrum of organisms is a technical advantage, regulatory considerations and higher acquisition costs often relegate it to a reserve or last-line role compared with the more commonly used sulfadiazine‑trimethoprim, doxycycline, or Trimidox.
