Key Information
- Active Ingredient: Metronidazole 400mg.
- Manufacturer: Abbott India Ltd..
- Mechanism of Action: It works by stopping the growth of infection-causing bacteria and parasites by damaging their DNA, leading to their death.
- Administration: It should be swallowed whole with a glass of water, ideally with food to avoid stomach upset, and taken at the same time each day for optimal results.
- Important Precautions:
- Do not stop taking the medication early, even if symptoms improve, to ensure complete eradication of the infection and prevent resistance.
- Avoid all alcohol consumption during treatment and for at least 48 hours after finishing the course, as it can cause unpleasant side effects like nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain (disulfiram-like reaction).
