Composition: Each tablet contains: Metronidazole: 400 mg Description: Metronidaziole is an Nitroimidazole derivative effective against anaerobic Protozoa like T. vaginalis, E.histolytica, G.lamblia and non sporing anaerobic Gram negative bacilli such as bacterioides.It is an effective systemic Trichomonocide.It is rapidly absorbed through small bowel. Food does not effect its absorption. Metronidazole diffuses in all tissues and achieves high concentrations in CSF, bile, bone and abcess and hence causes Lethal effect on Sensitive bacteria at therapeutic doses . It enters the microorganism by diffusion, Its Nitro group is reduced to intermediate compound which causes cytotoxicity probably by damaging DNA .Its selectively high activity against anaerobic bacteria has suggested interference with electron transport from NADPH or other reduced substance. Metronidazole is almost completely absorbed from small intestine and is widely distributed in the body attaining therapeutic concentration in Vaginal secretions, Saliva, semen, CSF.
