How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Azithromycin 200 mg/ml Anhydrous Oral Paste (Vet-Equine) is a semi-solid formulation specifically designed for oral use in horses. This antibiotic is dispensed in a tube and provides a thick and viscous consistency that adheres to oral tissues for extended contact. It is often used for the treatment of various bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and gastrointestinal infections.
