Metrogyl-M Ointment

Product introduction

Metrogyl-M Ointment is a medicinal preparation that combines two active ingredients and is primarily used for managing a variety of skin infections. It works by stopping the growth of microorganisms responsible for causing infections, thereby helping the affected skin heal more quickly and effectively.

This ointment is designed for external application only and should be used according to your doctor’s instructions. A thin layer of the ointment should be gently applied to clean and dry affected skin. Care should be taken to avoid contact with sensitive areas such as the eyes, nose, mouth, or genital region, and if accidental contact occurs, it should be rinsed off with plenty of water. Improvement in symptoms may take several days or weeks, so it’s important to use the medication regularly and complete the full course for maximum benefit. If there’s no improvement or the condition worsens, it’s essential to consult your doctor.

Some common reactions that may occur with this ointment include mild irritation, redness, itching, dryness, or a burning feeling where it is applied. These effects are usually temporary and tend to subside on their own. Applying a moisturizer regularly can help reduce dryness, and staying well-hydrated by drinking sufficient water is also recommended. Though rare, serious allergic reactions such as swelling, rashes, or difficulty breathing should be reported to a healthcare provider immediately.

Before starting treatment, let your doctor know about any other medications you are using or any allergies you may have. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should only use this ointment after medical consultation. During the healing process, avoid scratching or touching the infected skin, as this can worsen the problem or spread the infection to other areas.

Uses of Metrogyl-M Ointment
Metrogyl-M Ointment is used to treat bacterial infections of the skin.

Benefits of Metrogyl-M Ointment
This ointment is particularly effective against various skin infections caused by harmful bacteria, such as impetigo (red sores that often appear on the face), rosacea (a skin condition resembling acne), infected wounds, and skin ulcers. It prevents the bacteria from spreading to other areas and promotes quicker healing by removing damaged skin cells. Many users begin to notice visible improvement within a few days, but it’s important to continue the treatment for the entire prescribed duration to ensure the infection is completely resolved.

Possible side effects
Most side effects are mild and temporary, not requiring medical treatment. If any reaction continues or causes concern, seek medical advice.
Commonly observed effects include:

• Dry or flaky skin
• Mild irritation, redness, itching, or a burning sensation at the site of application

Directions for use
This ointment should only be applied to the skin. Use the amount recommended by your doctor. Wash and dry the affected area thoroughly before applying a small amount of the ointment and gently massage it in.

How Metrogyl-M Ointment works
This product contains two medicines: Mupirocin and Metronidazole. Mupirocin halts the growth of bacteria by blocking the production of essential proteins they need to survive, while Metronidazole destroys harmful microorganisms by interfering with their DNA. The combination of these two actions effectively clears up the infection.
