Metrogyl 200 Tablet 20 is taken orally.

Metrogyl 200 Tablet 20 contains metronidazole (200 mg). It acts on the body through the following mechanisms:

• DNA Damage: Once absorbed into the bacterial or parasitic cell, metronidazole becomes active and damages DNA within these cells.
• Inhibition of Nucleic Acid Synthesis: Metronidazole hinders the production of nucleic acids in harmful bacteria and parasites.

By damaging DNA and inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis, metronidazole disrupts the ability of bacteria and parasites to replicate. This action ultimately leads to their death and helps resolve the infection.

• Keep your Metrogyl 200 Tablet 20 in a tight, light-resistant container.
• Store at room temperature, ideally below 25°C.
• Avoid exposure to excessive light and moisture.
• Always keep out of reach from children and pets.

• If you're managing a gastrointestinal infection with Metrogyl 200 Tablet 20, try to eat a balanced diet. Foods rich in fibre, such as whole grains and vegetables, can help support a healthy gut.
• To manage conditions like bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis, ensure personal hygiene. Regularly changing underwear, using unscented soaps, and avoiding tight clothing can help minimise infection risk.
