Metronidazole 100ml syrup (or suspension) is a prescription antibiotic and anti-parasitic medication used to treat bacterial and protozoal infections. It is commonly prescribed under brand names like Flagyl or Eflaron, primarily for children or individuals who cannot swallow tablets. Key Medical Information Common Indications: Used to treat amoebiasis, giardiasis (common causes of diarrhea), dental infections, and anaerobic bacterial infections. Crucial Warning: You must avoid alcohol entirely during treatment and for at least 48 to 72 hours after your final dose. Mixing the two causes a severe "disulfiram-like" reaction, resulting in violent vomiting, severe nausea, abdominal cramps, headaches, and a rapid heart rate. How to Take: Always shake the bottle well before measuring. Use an accurate dosing syringe or the spoon provided with the bottle rather than a standard household kitchen spoon to prevent under- or over-dosing. Complete the Course: Finish the entire bottle or duration prescribed by the doctor, even if symptoms disappear early. Stopping antibiotics prematurely can cause the infection to return and promote bacterial resistance. Side Effects: Common side effects include a distinct metallic taste in the mouth, mild nausea, stomach upset, and darkened or brownish urine.
