Custom Medicine at an affordable price
From UndisclosedComments about Metronidazole Capsules (Compounded)The ordering process was straight forward and simple. I opted for standard shipping but the delivery came within 2 days. Pricing was affordable and much lower than if I went through my vet for a premade (not compounded) product. This was my first order and VetRx direct will see repeat business from me and I am telling my friends about the wonderful experience I had! -
Great value, Tablets would be 5 stars
From undisclosedComments about Metronidazole Capsules (Compounded)These come in at a great price point. If they made them as pressed tablets instead, I would award them 5 stars. Both pets for whom I use this medication have conditions requiring frequent, small, dosage changes. It's much easier to divide a tablet than to have multiple strengths compounded or break open a capsule (for strengths they don't make). -
Compounded Capsules Trump Liquid Formulation
From New York, NYComments about Metronidazole Capsules (Compounded)Availability of multiple doses (without much variability in price) helps my vet titrate my cat's dose to her symptom profile. -
Awesome Product, Completly mask the taste!
From Baton Rouge, LAComments about Metronidazole Capsules (Compounded)Metronidazole is very fowl tasting medicine. The capsules make the medicine tasteless, and my cat swallows them with no problem. Vetrxdirect also offers the medicine at less than 1/2 the price of my veterinary clinic. -

Hello, I give my cat METRONIDAZOLE tiny blue tablet 62.5 Mg. Wath is the difference between tablets and capsules and Metronidazole Capsules (Compounded). Which are easier to give to the cats.

Metronidazole Compounded Capsules are compounded by the VetRxDirect Pharmacy in a variety of dosage strengths including 62.5mg. At this time we do not have compounded Metronidazole tablets. We currently carry generic Metronidazole tablets in 250mg and 500mg strengths. Both tablets and capsules have an equal ability to be administered to cats. The decision between capsules and tablets is often based on personal preference. Please consult with your veterinarian regarding any further questions about the administration of this medication.

I currently give my dog Metronidazole 50 mg tiny tab, whats the difference between this and compound? is it because its in a capsule form.?
-
Please contact your veterinarian to determine if metronidazole capsules are appropriate for your dog.
Verified Answer -
In addition to the drug formulated into a capsule (vs tablet), metronidazole capsules are compounded to tailor to the unique needs of an individual patient. The compound can be prepared to address the patient’s need for a dose that is not commercially available. Capsules can make it easier for your dog to swallow the capsule without dealing with any kind of aftertaste. The owner may also choose to open up the capsule at home and pour the contents into a food or beverage of their choice for easier administration.
