Ambizole-500

Ambizole 500 tablets contain Metronidazole, an antibiotic and antiprotozoal medication used to treat infections caused by bacteria and certain parasites. It is effective against anaerobic bacteria and protozoal infections such as amoebiasis, giardiasis, and trichomoniasis. Metronidazole works by disrupting the DNA of microbial organisms, thereby inhibiting their growth and eliminating the infection.

  • Antiprotozoal: Treats infections caused by protozoa such as Trichomonas vaginalis, Giardia lamblia, and Entamoeba histolytica.
  • Antiamoebic: Used to treat amoebic dysentery and liver abscesses caused by Entamoeba histolytica.

HOW IT WORKS:

  • Metronidazole works by entering bacterial and protozoal cells and interfering with their DNA synthesis.
  • This action leads to cell death or inhibition of growth, effectively treating the infection.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

  • Interactions: Can interact with alcohol, causing severe nausea and vomiting. Avoid alcoholic beverages during and for at least 3 days after stopping treatment.
  • Storage: Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep out of reach of children.
