Metrogyl Tablet is an antimicrobial medication effective against bacterial and parasitic infections. It treats infections affecting various organs including the liver, stomach, intestines, reproductive system, central nervous system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, musculoskeletal system, and integumentary system.

This medication serves as prophylactic treatment to prevent postoperative infections and is also indicated for dental infections, chronic leg ulcers, and decubitus ulcers. For optimal absorption, administer with meals and maintain consistent dosing times. Dosage varies based on infection type and severity – strictly adhere to your physician’s prescribed regimen. Continue the full course even after symptom resolution to ensure complete eradication of pathogens and prevent antibiotic resistance. Avoid alcohol consumption during treatment and for 72 hours post-treatment to prevent disulfiram-like reactions including gastrointestinal distress.

Common adverse effects include cephalalgia, xerostomia, nausea, and dysgeusia (metallic taste). These typically resolve spontaneously but consult your healthcare provider if persistent. Sugar-free lozenges may alleviate oral discomfort.

Contraindications include hypersensitivity to nitroimidazole derivatives. Exercise caution in patients with hepatic/renal impairment or neurological disorders. Pregnancy and lactation status should be discussed with your physician prior to initiation.

THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS

Gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial infections
Protozoal and anaerobic infections

CLINICAL BENEFITS

Antimicrobial Efficacy

Metrogyl Tablet demonstrates broad-spectrum activity against aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms. Its clinical applications include treatment of bacteremia, CNS infections, pneumonia, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, genitourinary infections, and gastrointestinal infections. Additional indications encompass periodontal infections, chronic vascular ulcers, and pressure-induced tissue necrosis.

The bactericidal mechanism involves inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis through free radical-mediated DNA strand breakage. While symptomatic improvement often occurs rapidly, complete the prescribed course to prevent development of resistant strains. Teratogenic risk should be evaluated in pregnancy; excretion in breast milk necessitates medical consultation.

ADVERSE EFFECTS

Most adverse reactions are transient and self-limiting as physiological adaptation occurs. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist or cause concern.

Frequently Reported Reactions

Cephalalgia
Xerostomia
Emesis
Parageusia

ADMINISTRATION GUIDELINES

Administer orally as directed by your physician. Swallow the tablet whole with water during meals. Do not crush, chew, or divide the tablet.

PHARMACODYNAMICS

Metrogyl Tablet exerts its bactericidal and antiprotozoal effects through redox-mediated cytotoxic reactions that disrupt microbial DNA helical structure, inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis.
