Frequently asked questions
Can I drink alcohol with Metrogyl 400?
No. Alcohol with metronidazole causes a very unpleasant reaction – flushing, pounding headache, vomiting and palpitations. Avoid alcohol throughout the course and for 48 hours after the last tablet.
Metrogyl 400 before or after food?
After food. Taking it with a meal reduces nausea and the metallic taste.
Is Metrogyl 400 good for loose motions?
Only if the diarrhoea is caused by amoeba, giardia or certain bacteria. Most loose motions are viral and need only ORS. A doctor should decide, often after a stool test.
Metrogyl 400 vs Flagyl 400 – any difference?
Both are metronidazole 400 mg. They are the same medicine from different companies.
