CompositionMetrogyl Injection is used to treat severe bacterial and protozoal infections affecting the brain, lungs, abdomen, bones, joints, skin and female reproductive organs. It is typically used when treatment by mouth is not suitable.
This injection contains metronidazole, which stops the growth of the microorganisms causing the infection. It is given under medical supervision in a hospital or clinic, usually as an infusion into a vein. Complete the full course as prescribed to help clear the infection completely.
While receiving this treatment, avoid alcohol completely, including in food and medicines, as it can cause an unpleasant reaction with metronidazole. Staying well hydrated can also support your recovery.
Before starting this treatment, tell your doctor about any allergies, liver disease, or other medicines you are taking. Tell your care team promptly if you notice numbness or tingling in your hands or feet, or any unusual side effects during treatment.
