About Metrohex Gel
Metrohex Gel belongs to a group of medicines known as anti-microbial agents used to treat bacterial infections of the blood, brain, lung, bone, pelvic area, stomach lining, intestines, gum, teeth, following childbirth or wound infection following an operation. It is also used to treat infected leg ulcers, pressure sores, stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori, urinary or genital infections caused by Trichomonas parasite, amoebiasis (parasitic infection of the colon), and to prevent infections after surgery.
Metrohex Gel contains metronidazole that works by preventing the production of proteins required by the harmful microorganisms for their survival. Thereby Metrohex Gel treats bacterial and parasitic infections.
Your doctor will decide the duration depending on the type of infection. Some common side effects of Metrohex Gel are nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, loss of appetite, dry mouth, and metallic taste. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor.
Metrohex Gel should not be used during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester and while breastfeeding. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery after taking Metrohex Gel as it may cause dizziness and drowsiness. Avoid consumption of alcohol while on treatment with Metrohex Gel and for 48 hours after completing the course as it may cause unpleasant side effects. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects.
