Vetdox - AQ is available in two variations—30ml oral suspension and 250mg tablets (10110 pack), as well as a 60ml oral suspension—to provide flexibility in treatment. The oral suspension is ideal for pets that may have difficulty swallowing tablets, ensuring easy administration and precise dosing. The tablets offer a more convenient option for larger pets or those that readily accept tablets, while also providing a cost-effective solution for long-term treatment. With these variations, Vetdox - AQ caters to different pet sizes, preferences, and treatment needs, ensuring optimal care and ease for both pet owners and veterinarians.
Vetdox - AQ contains Atovaquone, which is known for its potent action against protozoal parasites. Atovaquone works by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in protozoa, specifically targeting the electron transport chain in Babesia and Toxoplasma species. This disruption of energy production prevents the parasites from multiplying, effectively controlling and treating infections like Babesia gibsoni and toxoplasmosis.
In addition to treating Babesia gibsoni, Vetdox - AQ is also effective against other protozoal infections, such as Pneumocystis. The dual action of Atovaquone and its ability to target different protozoal species make it a versatile treatment option for multiple parasitic infections in pets, particularly those with compromised immune systems.
The product is available in two variations: a 250mg tablet for larger pets and a 375mg oral suspension that ensures accurate dosing for smaller or more sensitive animals. This flexible dosing format allows for easy administration and customized treatment, optimizing the efficacy of Atovaquone while ensuring safety for pets of different sizes and needs. The film-coated tablet ensures ease of swallowing, while the oral suspension is designed for pets that may have difficulty with pills.
