We stock a form of metronidazole that is insoluble - in other words, it does not dissolve in liquids and so does not present the same bitter taste of the tablets. This chemical, metronidazole benzoate, can be compounded in oral suspensions of various strengths to deliver the same dose as a tablet or capsule. In addition to eliminating the terrible taste, IPS can also add flavors to the liquid to make the suspension even more palatable. Metronidazole is a potent drug used to treat a wide range of infections. Based on IPS's ability to compound small doses in capsules and suspensions, doctors and veterinarians now have another tool available to treat children and pets.
Questions regarding metronidazole or other drugs are always welcome.
Metronidazole can also be compounded in a palatable suspension using an insoluble form of the drug. This suspension avoids the terribly bitter taste of the raw drug. In addition, flavors can also be added to make the liquid good tasting to the patient. Flavors include bubble gum, liver, cherry, fish, and more. The cost of the suspension varies widely depending on the concentration required and the quantity needed.
