Overview
Unimed Metrogyl 200mg Tablet contains metronidazole, an antibiotic and antiprotozoal medicine used to treat a range of infections caused by anaerobic bacteria and certain parasites, including infections of the gut, reproductive tract, and skin.
Metronidazole works by damaging the DNA of susceptible bacteria and parasites once it is activated inside their cells, stopping them from surviving and multiplying.
How it Works
Unimed Metrogyl is converted into its active form inside anaerobic bacteria and susceptible parasites, where it damages their DNA structure. This prevents the organisms from repairing and reproducing, leading to their death and clearing the infection.
Directions for Use
Take the tablet with food to reduce stomach upset, swallowed whole with a glass of water, at evenly spaced intervals.
Dosage
The dose and duration depend on the type and severity of infection, typically taken two to three times daily for a course determined by your doctor; always complete the full course.
Shelf Life
Refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging.
