Dosing and the frequency of administration vary depending

during use. The following directions represent a standard use; administer
Methio-Form exactly as prescribed by your veterinarian.

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.
