Metrogyl Injection 100 ml

Metrogyl Injection belongs to a group of medicines known as anti-bacterial agents used to treat severe bacterial infections of the bone, skin and skin structure, blood, joint, abdomen, central nervous system, respiratory, gynaecological infections, meningitis (infection of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord), and endocarditis (infection of the heart lining and valves). 

Metrogyl Injection contains Metronidazole, which suppresses protein synthesis by interacting with DNA and causes helical DNA structure loss and strand breakage. As a result, it induces cell death in susceptible organisms. Thereby Metrogyl Injection treats bacterial infections.

Metrogyl Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Some common side effects of Metrogyl Injection are nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and injection site reaction. These side effects are temporary and may get resolved after some time. However, if any of the side effects persist or worsen, contact the doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are allergic to metronidazole. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding. Do not operate heavy machinery or drive after taking Metrogyl Injection as it may cause dizziness and drowsiness. Avoid consumption of alcohol while on treatment with Metrogyl Injection as it may cause unpleasant side effects.

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to get pregnant or if you are breastfeeding. Do not operate heavy machinery or drive after taking Metrogyl Injection as it may cause dizziness and drowsiness. Inform your doctor if you have bone marrow depression/low blood count, kidney impairment, CNS disorder, liver or heart problems, peripheral neuropathy, epilepsy, Crohn's disease (a condition in which the body attacks the lining of the digestive tract), yeast infection, oedema (swelling), or blood disorders.

• It would be best to take probiotics after taking the full course of Metrogyl Injection to restore healthy bacteria in the intestine that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
• Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria which helps stimulate their growth. Whole grains like whole-grain bread, and brown rice, should be included in the diet.
• Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Metrogyl Injection as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid Metrogyl Injection in fighting off infections.
