Metronidazole 200mg Tablet 10 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.
