Anizole-DS Tablets: (Metronidazole 400mg and Diloxanide Furoate 500mg)

Drug Category: Anti Protozoa / Amoeba

MECHANISM OF ACTION: Metronidazole exerts antibacterial effects in an anaerobic environment by the following possible mechanism: Once metronidazole enters the organism, the drug is reduced by intracellular electron transport proteins. Because of this alteration to the metronidazole molecule, a concentration gradient is created and maintained which promotes the drug’s intracellular transport. Presumably, free radicals are formed which, in turn, react with cellular components resulting in death of the bacteria. Metronidazole is active against most obligate anaerobes. Diloxanide Furoate may inhibit protein synthesis

INDICATIONS: Acute amoebiasis, Chronic amoebiasis, Hepatic amoebiasis and other systemic diseases due to E. histolytica, Giardiasis

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: One tablet thrice a day for 5 days.
