INDICATIONS
The treatment of infections caused by susceptible aerobic and
anaerobic bacteria in dogs and
cats.
Spiramycin is effective against aerobic and anaerobic Gram-positive
bacteria such as
_Staphylococcus_ spp., _Streptococcus_ spp., _Clostridium_ spp. and
also inhibits _Corynebacterium_
spp., _Rickettsia_ spp., and _Mycoplasma_ spp. Spiramycin concentrates
in tissues (bone,
including alveolar bone, lung, spleen) and secretions (especially
saliva).
Metronidazole inhibits many protozoa and Gram-positive and
Gram-negative anaerobic
bacteria.
Spiramycin and metronidazole possess synergistic properties.
Because of its spectrum of activity and propensity for concentration
in oral tissues,
STOMORGYL is particularly active against infections causing oral or
dental disease in dogs
and cats.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Administration is by the oral route.
Dogs: 1 tablet per 10 kg bodyweight (23.4 mg spiramycin and 12.5 mg
metronidazole/kg
bodyweight) daily for 5-10 days, depending on the severity of
infection.
Cats: ¼ - ½ tablet per 2.5 – 5 kg bodyweight (23.4 mg spiramycin
and 12.5 mg
metronidazole/kg bodyweight) daily for 5-10 days depending on the
severity of infection.
The daily dose may be divided into 2-3 treatments.
The dose may be doubled in chronic conditions.

suitable for treatment
of small dogs and cats.
