Dosing and the frequency of administration vary depending on a number of factors, including your pet's tolerance for the medication and urinary pH, as well as the purpose of treatment. Your veterinarian may monitor your pet's urinary pH and adjust the dosing accordingly during use. The following directions represent a standard use; administer Methio-Form exactly as prescribed by your veterinarian.

It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

Methio-Form delivers the essential amino acid DL-Methionine. This compound acidifies the urine to make the urinary tract inhospitable to bacteria that can cause infections. The acidity of the urine also promotes the dissolution of bladder stones, lessens strong urinary odors, and combats feline urological syndrome.
