FLAGYL 400

FLAGYL 400 is a prescription medication that contains Metronidazole, a potent antibiotic and antiprotozoal agent. It is commonly used to treat a variety of bacterial and parasitic infections, effectively combating infections caused by anaerobic bacteria and certain protozoa.

• Effective in treating parasitic infections like giardiasis, amebiasis, and trichomoniasis.

How it works:
Metronidazole in FLAGYL 400 works by disrupting the DNA of the bacteria and protozoa, preventing them from reproducing and spreading, ultimately leading to their destruction.
