Overview

Metrogyl 200mg/5ml Suspension is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Metronidazole 200mg/5ml (oral suspension). It is supplied as an oral suspension and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Metrogyl 200mg/5ml Suspension is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Shake the bottle well before every use and measure Metrogyl 200mg/5ml Suspension using the oral measuring cup or syringe provided – do not use an ordinary household spoon, as this can give an inaccurate dose. It may be given with food if it upsets the stomach. Avoid alcohol during treatment and for at least 48 hours after the last dose, as it can cause an unpleasant reaction (flushing, nausea, palpitations).

Dosage

The dose of Metrogyl 200mg/5ml Suspension is determined by your doctor based on the patient’s age, body weight, and the specific infection being treated, since dosing (especially in children) varies considerably by indication. A typical course lasts several days to about two weeks – always follow the exact dose, frequency, and duration your doctor has prescribed and complete the full course even if symptoms improve early.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Dryness or peeling of the skin
  • Redness or irritation
  • Burning or stinging sensation
  • Skin flaking
  • Mild allergic reactions such as itching or rash

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to metronidazole or other nitroimidazole derivatives
  • First trimester of pregnancy, unless specifically advised by your doctor
  • Concomitant use of disulfiram or use within the past two weeks

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Alcohol can cause a disulfiram-like reaction (flushing, nausea, palpitations) – avoid during treatment and for 48 hours after the last dose
  • Warfarin’s blood-thinning effect may be enhanced, requiring closer monitoring of clotting (INR) tests
  • Lithium blood levels may increase when combined with metronidazole

Quick Tips
