Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Metronidazole 8.3 mg/ml Saline Enema is a specially compounded formulation designed to treat a range of gastrointestinal and gynecological conditions. This includes Clostridioides Difficile Infection, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's Disease, Bacterial Vaginosis, and Diverticulitis. The formulation is administered rectally, allowing the metronidazole to be absorbed directly through the rectal mucosa. This method of administration ensures a targeted and localized effect on the affected area.

The concentration of 8.3 mg/ml of metronidazole in this formulation is carefully chosen to provide an effective therapeutic dose. This concentration is potent enough to treat the aforementioned conditions, yet gentle enough to avoid causing excessive irritation to the rectal mucosa.

It is also a safe and effective treatment option for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, providing them with a viable alternative to oral medication.
