Metrogyl Suspension

Product introduction
Metrogyl Suspension is an antibiotic that helps the body fight infections caused by bacteria and certain parasites. It is commonly prescribed to treat infections in various parts of the body, including the liver, stomach, intestines, lungs, brain, heart, skin, bones, and reproductive organs.

This medicine is also effective in preventing infections after surgical procedures. It may be used to treat dental problems such as gum infections, tooth abscesses, and conditions like leg ulcers or bedsores. It is usually taken after meals to reduce the chances of stomach upset. For best results, take the medicine at the same time each day and strictly follow your doctor’s dosage instructions. Even if your symptoms improve after a few days, you should complete the full course of treatment to prevent the infection from returning or becoming resistant. Avoid consuming alcohol during the treatment and for a few days after stopping the medication, as it may lead to unpleasant reactions like nausea, vomiting, flushing, and stomach pain.

Some common side effects include headache, dry mouth, nausea, and a metallic taste in the mouth. These are generally mild and temporary. If they become bothersome or persist, speak to your doctor. Sucking on sugar-free lozenges or candies can help relieve dry mouth and the metallic taste.

Before starting this medicine, let your doctor know if you have any allergies, liver or kidney problems, or nervous system disorders. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should only take this medicine if prescribed by a doctor. It is also important to inform your healthcare provider that you are using this medication, as it may interfere with certain medical test results.
