Flagyl 200 Tablet’1*15

Product Overview
Flagyl 200 Tablet is an antibiotic used to treat infections caused by bacteria and parasites. It is effective for infections in various parts of the body such as the liver, stomach, intestines, vagina, brain, heart, lungs, bones, and skin.

This medication is also used to prevent infections after surgery and to treat dental infections, leg ulcers, and pressure sores. For best results, Flagyl 200 Tablet should be taken after meals and at the same time every day. The prescribed dosage depends on the type and severity of the infection. It’s important to complete the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to ensure all bacteria or parasites are eliminated and to avoid the infection returning. Alcohol consumption should be avoided during treatment and for a few days after finishing the medicine, as it can cause unpleasant side effects like nausea, vomiting, and stomach discomfort.

Common side effects include headache, dry mouth, nausea, and a metallic taste. These symptoms are usually mild and temporary. If any of these effects persist or become troublesome, consult your healthcare provider. Using sugar-free candies or lozenges may help relieve dryness or metallic taste.

Before using this medicine, inform your doctor if you have allergies, liver or kidney problems, or any neurological disorders. Your doctor may adjust your dose or suggest an alternative treatment if needed. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this medication only under medical advice. Flagyl 200 Tablet may interfere with some laboratory tests, so always inform your healthcare providers that you are taking it.
