Metrogyl 400 Tablet contains the following components:

• Metronidazole (400 mg): Metronidazole exhibits antibacterial efficacy, particularly against most anaerobes. Once inside the microorganism via passive diffusion, it undergoes chemical reduction within the cytoplasm of susceptible anaerobes. The reduced form of metronidazole and the generated free radicals interact with microbial DNA, disrupting its synthesis and initiating degradation. These actions collectively contribute to the eventual destruction of the bacterial cells.
