Ronidazole（Cat No.:A000698）is an antiprotozoal medication commonly used in veterinary medicine to treat infections caused by Tritrichomonas foetus in cats and Histomonas meleagridis in poultry. It is a nitroimidazole derivative that works by damaging the DNA of protozoal parasites, disrupting their replication and survival. Ronidazole is particularly effective in managing chronic diarrhea associated with trichomoniasis in cats. While potent, its use is limited in food-producing animals due to residue concerns. Ronidazole remains an essential tool for controlling protozoal infections in companion animals and non-food species.
