Candontal Tablet

Candontal Tablet

Candontal Tablet is a veterinary-prescribed oral antibiotic combination used for treating bacterial infections of the mouth and gums in dogs. It is commonly recommended for gingivitis, periodontal disease, tooth root infections, and post-dental procedure care. Candontal is frequently used as a first-line dental antibiotic due to its effectiveness against oral bacteria.

Veterinary Uses

Candontal tablets may be prescribed for:

• Gingivitis (gum inflammation)
• Periodontal disease
• Dental and tooth root infections
• Oral ulcers and stomatitis
• Post-dental extraction infections
• Bacterial contamination of oral wounds

Use is based on veterinary diagnosis.

How Candontal Works

Candontal typically contains a dual-action antibiotic combination that:

• Targets oral aerobic and anaerobic bacteria
• Reduces bacterial load in gum tissue
• Helps control inflammation and pain
• Promotes faster healing of oral tissues

This makes it especially effective for infections deep within gum pockets.
