Metron Forte 400 Mg Tablet 10 contains metronidazole (400 mg) which works on the body in the following ways:

• Penetration into Cells: Metronidazole enters bacterial and protozoal cells where it undergoes a reduction process.
• Toxicity towards Anaerobic Organisms: The reduced form of metronidazole forms unstable compounds that bind to DNA and inhibit nucleic acid synthesis, causing cell death. This action is selective towards anaerobic bacteria and protozoa because these organisms have the ability to reduce metronidazole inside their cells.
